简要总结
Researchers from the University of South Florida's Rehabilitation Engineering program are looking for volunteers to participate in a research study for experimental evaluation of wheelchair-mounted robotic arms (WMRAs).
Participants will operate commercially available and developmental WMRAs in a physical test environment. The study will serve to identify desirable design features of WMRAs and input devices so that future production systems may further increase the quality of life of potential users.
The study will also promote both the justification of prescribing WMRAs to enhance quality of life through the proposed standard testing method, and awareness for the emerging assistive robotics industry.
详细描述
Individuals with injuries or conditions resulting in both upper and lower body disabilities who are power wheelchair-bound are of key interest.
The purpose of this study is to experimentally evaluate up to six wheelchair mounted robotic arms (WMRAs). The goal is to quantitatively compare each device. In order to compare each device, patients will be asked to operate one of up to six wheelchair mounted robotic arms at a time. With each WMRA, patients will be asked to perform a series of up to four activities of daily living. patients will be presented with a survey at the conclusion of each task test. The survey is designed to quantitatively rank each WMRA's performance. The time to complete each task with each arm will also be recorded.
Patients will be asked some questions such as age, occupation, disability and/or physical limitations, and wheelchair use.
Patients will be asked to disclose pertinent medical information to determine their level of mobility. Then the patients and the research team will know whether or not they should be in the study.
If they take part in this study, patients will be asked to use a series of devices to control each of the six WMRAs to complete the following tasks:

结局指标
主要结局
Efficacy - Ease of Use
时间窗: Efficacy in performing a given task with a given wheelchair- mounted robotic arm will be recorded after three (3) repetitions of the task have been completed. Testing should take no longer than 4 hours.
In order to quantitatively evaluate the efficacy of each of up to six WMRAs, a survey will be presented to the participant at the conclusion of the final testing trial of each task of interest. The participant will be asked to rate the ease of performing the given task with the given WMRA and input device on a number ranking scale. The survey should be completed at the conclusion of testing trials for each task (the participant will be asked to perform up to four individual tasks).
