Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Assistive Technology
  • Occupational Therapy

Background:

  • Previous research on adaptive equipment benefits primarily consists of case study reports.
  • A need exists to quantitatively assess the broader impact of adaptive equipment across various life activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To expand upon existing literature by surveying guardians regarding the perceived benefits of adaptive equipment.
  • To identify specific life activities positively influenced by the use of adaptive equipment.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was developed and administered to 92 guardians or contact persons of clients.
  • Participants reported on the perceived benefits of adaptive equipment provided by the Montana Adaptive Equipment Project.
  • Responses were analyzed to identify significant changes in life activities.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed in the social interaction of clients using adaptive equipment.
  • Notable enhancements were also recorded in the motor coordination of clients.
  • The survey data supports the positive impact of adaptive equipment across multiple life domains.

Conclusions:

  • Adaptive equipment offers tangible benefits in social and motor domains, supporting previous case study findings.
  • This study provides broader evidence for the efficacy of adaptive equipment in improving client's quality of life.
  • Further research can explore specific adaptive equipment types and their differential impacts.
