Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

44
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Device Development
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Early mobilization is crucial for improving outcomes in critically ill patients.
  • Barriers often hinder the implementation of early mobilization strategies.
  • An in-bed device for leg exercises could overcome these barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an in-bed leg press device.
  • To facilitate early mobilization and strength training for acute care patients.

Main Methods:

  • A user-centered design approach was employed.
  • The device development involved iterative prototyping and testing.
  • Usability was assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS), Kano model, and end-user interviews.

Main Results:

  • A prototype in-bed leg press was successfully developed.
  • User feedback and usability assessments indicated high device usability.
  • The user-centered design process proved advantageous.

Conclusions:

  • An interprofessional, user-centered design approach effectively created a medical device.
  • Early end-user involvement ensured high production readiness and met therapeutic requirements.
  • The developed in-bed leg press is ready for practical application in acute care settings.
