The higher was the performance of an AT device, the lower was the rejection rate. If the users’ opinions were considered in the AT service delivery process, there were higher rates of device retention. 4 Inclusion of end users in design, feature selection, and evaluation process of AT devices. Sharing information between providers and clients, and taking feedback for determining match between users and AT. In the event that client is not satisfied with original loaner equipment, provision for replacement with newer equipment.
This category includes all AT for environmental improvement, including manually operated tools, measuring instruments, machines, powered tools and their attachments, as well as special furniture for work environments such as workbenches or tool cabinets. Category 30: Aids for Recreation. This category includes toys, games, and musical instruments; AT for exercise and sport; and photography equipment for emulsion film or digital video. Also included are recreational equipment for hunting and fishing; tools, materials, and equipment for handicrafts, indoor/outdoor gardening, traveling, camping, and caravanning; smoking equipment; and instruments or tools for pet care.
However, the existing research focuses primarily on effectiveness of training for operating manual wheelchairs. Also, very few studies related to aging and AT mentioned training as an important component for improving acceptance of use of the devices. Chiu and Man [6] indicated greater improvement in the functional independence, higher satisfaction with the AT devices as well as a higher usage of AT devices, among the elderly individuals who received a home based training program after getting discharge from the hospital, as compared to other groups of elderly individuals who did not receive home based training program [6].
