Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation technology
  • Digital health interventions

Background:

  • Interactive exercise applications offer potential for enhanced physical therapy.
  • Assessing the usability and acceptance of new digital tools is crucial for clinical integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the usability and acceptance of a novel tablet-based exercise application.
  • To gather therapists' opinions on using the application in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • Usability testing with think-aloud protocol and satisfaction ratings (System Usability Scale).
  • Acceptance assessment using a modified Technology Acceptance Model Questionnaire.
  • Focus groups with therapists (team leaders and members) for qualitative feedback.

Main Results:

  • The application demonstrated good usability, with effectiveness ratings between 73-90%.
  • Overall satisfaction ranged from 70.5 to 85.5/100, and acceptance from 74-80%.
  • Therapists viewed the app as a valuable therapy extension, but noted barriers related to workflow, attitudes, and cost.

Conclusions:

  • The developed application exhibits high usability and acceptance among users.
  • Suggestions for improvement include incorporating videos, more interactive features, and customizable exercises.
  • Feasibility studies in a clinical setting are recommended prior to widespread adoption.
