Perceptions of Adaptive Devices by Users: A Scoping Review

The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of clients ’ acceptance of adaptive devices as treatment strategies for use in hand therapy. Therapists select interventions that are client specific with the goal to meet the client’s functional needs. Time constraints and productivity requirements limit the time needed to explore and construct custom fit adaptive devices that could increase use of the client’s affected extremity. Clients’ perceptions of adaptive devices further limit the acceptance and use of the device.
