Disability Physical
Conditions
Brief summary
Our research aims to examine 3D printed device satisfaction when using mobile devices for individuals with physical disabilities in long-term care facilities, and the impact of the 3D printed device integration on overall occupational performance and satisfaction.
Detailed description
This feasibility study will be conducted at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network (GSRN) in the collection of data examining 3D printing outcomes. The 3D printed devices are within the current normal and customary care of GSRN services, with the focus on the created 3D printed adaptations for mobile device usage (i.e. smartphone adaptations). The feasibility data will assist in understanding the satisfaction and performance of 3D printed devices for persons with a physical disability.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) | 3-4 weeks | As a self-reported measure of occupational performance and occupational satisfaction, the scale ranges from 1-10, with 10 indicating a more favorable outcome in self-rated occupational performance and satisfaction. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0) | 3-4 weeks | Participants will self-report satisfaction with the created and printed device and service on a Likert scale from 1-5, with 5 indicating maximum satisfaction. |
