“…The participation of academic sectors creating and developing technologies is important, but this importance only takes effect if, in addition to being created and developed, the technologies are transferred to organizations that, in fact, can produce and make inventions available to society. Also noteworthy is the number of organizations based in Taiwan among the main applicants, which is in agreement with a study published on the subject by Lee et al (2009).…”

The present study carried out a technological prospecting in order to present and discuss the main Assistive Technology patents focused on the mobility aid category. This is an exploratory research, with documental and applied research procedures, with a quali-quantitative approach, based on searches carried out in the international database Questel Orbit Intelligence for investigation in patent documents. The results found made it possible to map and analyze the evolution of technological production in the world market for assistive products. From this analysis, the growing interest in the development and protection of resources related to mobility was identified, as well as inventors with greater productivity; the main patent applicants, such as the prominent academic institutions; the leading countries in patent protection requests, such as China and the United States; the related and most cited terminologies in patent documents and the selection of technologies related to the scope of the research, in order to discuss the main technological trends in these products

User Satisfaction with Orthotic Devices and Service in Taiwan

et al. 2014

User satisfaction is afforded considerable importance as an outcome measurement in evidence-based healthcare and the client-centered approach. Several studies have investigated user satisfaction with orthoses. Few studies have investigated user satisfaction with orthoses in Taiwan. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the user satisfaction with orthotic devices and service using the Taiwanese version of Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 280 subjects who had used orthoses and received services. The results showed that the mean satisfaction score was 3.74 for the devices and 3.56 for service. Concerning the participants, 69.1% and 59.6% were quite satisfied or very satisfied with their devices and service, respectively. The satisfaction score of orthotic service was lower than that of the devices. Regarding demographic characteristics, participants living in different areas differed only in service score (p = 0.002). The participants living in eastern area and offshore islands were the least satisfied with the orthotic service. For clinical characteristics, there was a significant difference in satisfaction scores among severity of disability (all p = 0.015), types of orthoses (all p = 0.001), and duration of usage (all p = 0.001). The participants with mild disability, wearing the pressure garment and using the orthosis for less than one year, were the most satisfied with their orthotic devices and service. There is a need for improved orthotic devices and services, especially with respect to the comfort of the devices and the provision of subsidy funding.
