“…According to the needs of specific BCI users (the efficacy provided by BCI is required to solve their problems) and their capabilities, and taking full account of their living or working environment (which may have some uniqueness), an intelligent environment suitable for the operation and operation of a specific BCI system (such as different BCI paradigms) can be built, considering user preferences for the intelligent environment. Designing such a personalized intelligent environment is conducive to enhancing the interaction performance between the BCI system and users and improving the user’s sense of experience and satisfaction [ 55 , 56 ].…”

“…In addition, Figure 4 also includes a user-specific visual analog scale [ 2 , 58 ] and an evaluation of a specific user’s overall satisfaction with BCI [ 30 , 54 ]. The latter can use Quest 2.0 and its extension form of user satisfaction with auxiliary technology [ 56 , 58 , 59 ]. In particular, interview/follow-up evaluation with specific users is necessary and important, in which four issues need to be considered when BCI technology is converted into practical application [ 1 ].…”

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) are a new technology that subverts traditional human–computer interaction, where the control signal source comes directly from the user’s brain. When a general BCI is used for practical applications, it is difficult for it to meet the needs of different individuals because of the differences among individual users in physiological and mental states, sensations, perceptions, imageries, cognitive thinking activities, and brain structures and functions. For this reason, it is necessary to customize personalized BCIs for specific users. So far, few studies have elaborated on the key scientific and technical issues involved in personalized BCIs. In this study, we will focus on personalized BCIs, give the definition of personalized BCIs, and detail their design, development, evaluation methods and applications. Finally, the challenges and future directions of personalized BCIs are discussed. It is expected that this study will provide some useful ideas for innovative studies and practical applications of personalized BCIs.

Study design Observational study. Objective To describe (1) user satisfaction, (2) the Quality of Life (QoL) and (3) fear of falling in individuals with tetraplegia or paraplegia who used a mono-ski for sit-skiing. Setting Spinal units and Sport associations. Methods An observational study of people with spinal cord injury (SCI) who used a sit-ski. Participants were recruited in various SCI rehabilitation centers and sport associations. Participants completed three assessment tools: the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0); the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQoL-BREF); the Spinal Cord Injury Fall Concern Scale (SCI-FCS). Results were evaluated with chi-squared test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov's test and the significance was set for p values < 0.05. Results Fifteen participants were included. Results showed positive and statistically significant values for all the items of the SCI-FCS related to fear of falling, and for most of the items of the WHOQoL-BREF related to QoL and the QUEST 2.0 related to satisfaction with the device. Conclusions This study highlights that sit skiing is correlated with high levels of satisfaction with the mono-ski, increases in QoL, and low levels of fear of falling. In adding these findings to the existent literature, it can be stated with more certainty that sit-skiing is a sport that can be recommended in rehabilitation and sports therapy programs.

“…However, in the joint analysis of both samples, it was found that the internal consistency values for test and retest ranged from 0.83 to 0.89. The Italian (α = 0.74) and Dutch versions (α = 0.73 and 0.85) shows similar values with respect to the internal consistency [ 15 , 22 ].…”

“…QUEST–2.0 has already been translated and validated into different languages, and the versions present good internal consistency (0.79–0.90) and test–retest reliability (0.64–0.97) [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. A recently published study demonstrates the validity and reliability of QUEST-IT 2.0 for an Italian population using mobility assistive devices [ 22 ] and for athletes who use a sports wheelchair [ 23 ].…”

Background: Assistive technologies (ATs) are resources to promote the independence and participation of people with a disability. The use of standardized tools, based on outcome measures, is essential for guaranteeing high-quality rates. The Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with AT–2.0 (QUEST) is a scale to assess the satisfaction of people using any AT. Objectives: To translate and culturally validate the QUEST–2.0 for the Spanish population (QUEST 2.0-ES). Methods: A validation cross-design and descriptive study. The test–retest reliability, validity, and internal consistency of QUEST 2.0-ES were studied. It was divided into two phases: Sample 1 was formed by 26 persons; in sample 2, 30 persons participated. The conditions included neurological conditions, amputations, rare diseases, and deafness. Results: Thirty-five men and 21 women participated in total. The majority of AT used were those for mobility. QUEST 2.0-ES analysis showed internal consistency values between the test (α = 0.87) and retest versions (α = 0.89). The internal consistency was high for AT (test, α = 0.83; retest, α = 0.87) and Service (test, α = 0.80; retest, α = 0.80). The temporal reliability (1–2 weeks) for test–retest was 0.88. Conclusion: QUEST 2.0-ES showed good psychometric properties in terms of validity and test–retest reliability, and it is a good tool to assess the user’s satisfaction with ATs and services.
