Abstract
Objective:
By designing interactive activities of daily living (ADL)-based smart
objects for home hand rehabilitation for people with stroke, our
objective is to provide a better understanding of how daily activities
and objects can facilitate rehabilitation. This way we can bypass the
need for intrinsic motivation and offer functional hand exercises at
home, that are seamlessly integrated into ADL.
Design:
Design:
We
applied a pilot study following a research-through-design approach
combined with a user-centred design to evaluate a handle used as add on
to cooking utensils.
Setting:
Setting:
We applied this research within a focus group setting within a rehabilitation centre.
Participants:
Participants:
Two adult people with stroke (male, aged over 40) participated. They
both had a mildly impaired hand function due to stroke.
Interventions:
Interventions:
Not applicable.(What?)
Main Outcome Measures:
Main Outcome Measures:
Both participants interacted with the prototype
handle and experienced via a “wizard of Oz” approach some of the future
features of the prototype. Additionally, they were asked to evaluate the
usability of the idea of using daily objects as means for
rehabilitation at home and expressed their opinion about the future
features of such devices.
Results:
Results:
Both participants recognised
the value of daily objects for home stroke hand rehabilitation. They
mentioned that they would prefer objects that promote bi-manual
activities (or a multitude of activities via a modular design) and the
importance of monitoring their progress and even adding elements of
competition between participants.
Conclusions:
Conclusions:
This pilot test
showed that our idea for seamless home rehabilitation with the use of
smart daily objects is promising. In this work, we will present the
results of the follow-up studies that we carried out with more people
with stroke, after implementing the suggestions of the participants.
