“…The assessment was administered verbally and transcribed by the researchers due to the participants' difficulties writing, after the above tasks were completed. This assessment was chosen because it is a reliable measure that provides direct quantitative and qualitative feedback as to which design specifications should be improved [37]. This assessment was added to the study after P4, chronologically the first participant in the study.…”

Background: The Hand Extension Robot Orthosis (HERO) Grip Glove was iteratively designed to meet requests from therapists and persons after a stroke who have severe hand impairment to create a device that extends all five fingers, enhances grip strength and is portable, lightweight, easy to put on, comfortable and affordable. Methods: Eleven persons who have minimal or no active finger extension (Chedoke McMaster Stage of Hand 1-4) post-stroke were recruited to evaluate how well they could perform activities of daily living and finger function assessments with and without wearing the HERO Grip Glove. Results: The 11 participants showed statistically significant improvements (p < 0.01), while wearing the HERO Grip Glove, in the water bottle grasp and manipulation task (increase of 2.3 points, SD 1.2, scored using the Chedoke Hand and Arm Inventory scale from 1 to 7) and in index finger extension (increase of 147 o , SD 44) and range of motion (increase of 145 o , SD 36). The HERO Grip Glove provided 12.7 N (SD 8.9 N) of grip force and 11.0 N (SD 4.8) of pinch force to their affected hands, which enabled those without grip strength to grasp and manipulate blocks, a fork and a water bottle, as well as write with a pen. The participants were 'more or less satisfied' with the HERO Grip Glove as an assistive device (average of 3.3 out of 5 on the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology 2.0 Scale). The highest satisfaction scores were given for safety and security (4.6) and ease of use (3.8) and the lowest satisfaction scores were given for ease of donning (2.3), which required under 5 min with assistance. The most common requests were for greater grip strength and a smaller glove size for small hands. Conclusions: The HERO Grip Glove is a safe and effective tool for enabling persons with a stroke that have severe hand impairment to incorporate their affected hand into activities of daily living, which may motivate greater use of the affected upper extremity in daily life to stimulate neuromuscular recovery.

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta uma interface intuitiva, de baixo custo, sem fios e customizável, tornando-a mais confortável para cadeirantes. Ela utiliza dados de sensores inerciais, acoplados à cabeça do usuário, e odométricos, da cadeira de rodas, para inferir a intenção de interação com os eletrodomésticos do ambiente, como: televisão, rádio, lâmpadas, etc. Ao detectar a intenção, um sinal é transmitido para um sistema elétrico (caixa inteligente) dotado de relés, que se conecta aos equipamentos. Foram realizados testes com voluntários, havendo sido obtida uma elevada taxa de acerto, sendo possível ligar e desligar todos os equipamentos testados em um tempo bastante pequeno. O objetivo final deste trabalho é prover ao cadeirante um sistema prático que melhore a sua qualidade de vida. Palavras-chave:Sensores inerciais, domótica, cadeirantes, deficiência motora severa.

“…A significant fact reported in [16] is that custom-made questionnaires are found to be the most commonly used tool type (66.7%) that are applied for most of the measures used during the development phase of any rehabilitation and assistive robot device. At the same time, the astonishing majority of the reviewed studies (reaching a percentage of 93.9%) used non-validated or reliable instruments to assess the subjective opinion of their intended target group.…”

“…Parallel to custom-made subjective measures to evaluate end-user satisfaction and assess the rehabilitation or assistive robot device [16], most reported studies recruited very limited numbers of patient subjects, while semi-structured interviews, as those utilized in [17,18], were not considered as an option for the evaluation of the MOBOT rollator. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) [19] and the System Usability Scale (SUS) [20] were also excluded, since the former is only remotely related to the kind of assessment that we intended and the latter measures only very basic issues of the device.…”

Abstract:In this paper, we report on the evaluation strategy and the results that were obtained from the final end-user evaluation process of an innovative robotic assistive device supporting mobility. More specifically, the paper deals with the evaluation of the MOBOT robotic rollator as regards to the system's overall performance and its individual assistive characteristics and functionalities, as implemented in respect to (i) the provided cognitive assistance, and (ii) the adopted audio-gestural human-robot communication model. User evaluation was designed on the basis of an extensive survey of scales and methodologies widely reported in the relevant literature. The actual evaluation phase exploited the QUEST 2.0, ATDPA-Device Form, and PYTHEIA scales to measure the subjective satisfaction of the users. The PYTHEIA scale, in particular, was structured in order to fill the gaps that were identified during the study of previously existing tools for measuring assistive device user satisfaction. The scale was applied for the first time during the reported evaluation process. An analysis of the results showed that MOBOT was ranked very high by end users in all of the aspects addressed by the three employed assessment scales, thus providing significant evidence for positive acceptance of any industrialized outcome of the current prototype in the assistive robots market.
