The Arabic psychosocial impact of assistive devices scale: Development, translation, and evaluation
Assist Technol. 2024 Apr 26:1-8. doi: 10.1080/10400435.2024.2339467. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper describes the development, translation, and early evaluation of the Arabic Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (AR-PIADS), an outcome measure instrument for the subjective impact of Assistive Technology on a person with a disabilities' quality of life. Developing the AR = PIADS instrument involved forward and backward translation by two independent teams of bilingual, Arabic-English speakers (n = 5) and a quality and usability review by a panel of people with disabilities (n = 18). The emergent version w...

Development and content validity of the caregiver assisted transfer technique instrument
Assist Technol. 2024 Apr 26:1-9. doi: 10.1080/10400435.2024.2336334. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInformal caregivers often provide transfer assistance to individuals with disabilities; however, repeated transfers are associated with a high risk of musculoskeletal pain and injury, and training and education around transfers is minimal. The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the content validity of a new tool, the Caregiver Assisted Transfer Technique Instrument (CATT), which could be used to provide an objective indicator of transfer performance. Item importance, clarity, and appropriateness of responses were...

Health App Review Tool (HART): content validation through expert panel review
Assist Technol. 2024 Apr 17:1-6. doi: 10.1080/10400435.2024.2337857. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Health App Review Tool (HART) is an evaluation tool that is designed to help the users in evaluation of the health apps for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) population. As the development of the HART continues, the domain items that HART addresses require evaluation to determine if they meet the intended required criteria for the users.To complete content validation of the HART 10 health care professions provided content validation of the HART via a content validation form. Specifically, data collection to...

Historical technology transfer activities and productivity of NIDLRR grantees
Assist Technol. 2024 Apr 17:1-13. doi: 10.1080/10400435.2024.2324051. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper analyzes the technology-related outputs from The National Institute of Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). We seek to answer the questions: What are the types and frequency of assistive technology (AT) technology transfer (ATTT) outputs from NIDILRR grants? How does NIDILRR's ATTT generation compare to other granting organizations? What types of ATTT outputs occur, how, and what is the relative productivity of the most frequently funded universities and small businesses performin...
