简要总结
The best match between any person with disability and the assistive technology (AT) only can be gotten through a complete assessment and a monitoring of the needs, abilities, priorities, difficult and limitations that he/she finds in his/her life. Without this analysis, may be the risk that the AT doesn't adapt to the expectation of the person. Like this, the user, in few time, could abandon the AT device, with the unnecessary spends of resources. Therefore, is important that any project focused in the development of new innovating AT for people with disabilities includes the perspective of outcome measures as an important phase of the research. In this sense, the incorporation of the assessment, implementation process and outcome measures is vital to get the transferability during the whole project and to get the general perspective from the final user.
The protocol presents a project that aims to improve the independence, participation and functional mobility of people with disabilities.
The sample is formed by people with disabilities that will participate from the first stage of the process, with an initial assessment of their abilities and needs, a complete implication during the test of technology, and in the final application of outcome measures instruments.
Only with this perspective and active participation of the users is possible to carry on a user-centered approach. That fact will allow to define and to generate technological solutions that really adjust to the expectations, needs and priorities of the people with disabilities, avoiding that the AT be abandoned, with the consequent health and social spending.
详细描述
The present document is the description of a Subproject of a global and complete coordinated Project, in which are participants the University of A Coruña, the University of Alcalá de Henares and the University of Sevilla, and its title is "Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Assistive Technology devices for Disabled People" (AIR4DP).
The main result of the AIR4DP project consists of the implementation of assistive technology that allows to incorporate the latest advances in Artificial Intelligence to improve life quality of people with disabilities. With this target, the investigators present a coordinated project that is divided into three sub-projects, whose main goals consist of developing and evaluating the breakthrough of the proposed technology in people with functional diversity.
In this Study Protocol, the justification and the development of subproject MATCH are explained. It will be coordinated by the University of A Coruña, and its performance implies the participation of people with disabilities.
Therefore, this project is focused on the implementation of outcome measurement tools to improve the efficacy, effectiveness and real utility of the assistive technology devices (ATD) developed. On the other hand, it is also very important to assess the functional impact the ATD has on the user's participation in their social environment. For that, other measurement tools to assess functional mobility outcomes will also be also carried out during basal assessment and after 6 months of ATD implementation.
For this study protocol, the hypothesis is related to the relevance of the assessment of the interaction between the users and the AT: in order to guarantee a high match person-AT, to also get a positive psychosocial impact in the life of people with disabilities, the assessment and monitoring result two fundamental aspects.

结局指标
主要结局
Psychosocial Impact of the assistive technology in the life of people with disability
时间窗: Six months after the implementation phase
Psychosocial impact of assistive technology scale (PIADS): This scale has three dimensions: competence, adaptability and Self-steem. Each of these dimensions can have a minimum value of -3 up to a maximum value of +3. Higher scores mean a better outcome
次要结局
- Level of Independence in the performance for activities of daily living.(Two months after the implementation phase)
- Level of matching between person and technology(Six months after the implementation phase)
- Level of Independence in the performance for activities of daily living(Six months after the implementation phase)
