Der Rolle der Ergotherapie wurde im Rahmen der ganzheitlichen Nachsorge von Cancer Survivors in Deutschland bislang wenig erforscht. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, welchen Beitrag Ergotherapeut*innen leisten können, um diese implementieren und gewährleisten zu können. In der qualitativen Studie wurden …

WRITIC ist ein betätigungs- und evidenzbasiertes Assessment aus den Niederlanden. Es misst die Handschriftbereitschaft von 5- bis 6-jährigen Vorschulkindern im Kindergartenkontext. Zur internationalen Adaption wurde das Assessment in mehreren Sprachen, darunter auch ins Deutsche, übersetzt. Die vorliegende …

Wie erleben Kinder, Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene mit Beeinträchtigung ihre “participation” bezogen auf das “involvement”?

Background: Impaired upper extremity function due to muscle paresis or paralysis has a major impact on independent living and quality of life (QoL). Assistive technology (AT) for upper extremity function (i.e. dynamic arm supports and robotic arms) can increase a client’s independence. Previous studies …

Assistive technology supports maintenance or improvement of an individual’s functioning and independence, though for people in need the access to assistive products is not always guaranteed. This paper presents a generic quality framework for assistive technology service delivery that can be used independent …

Purpose: This is a position paper describing the elements of an international framework for assistive techhnology provision that could guide the development of policies, systems and service delivery procedures across the world. It describes general requirements, quality criteria and possible approaches …

Objective: To gain insight into how communication vulnerable people and health-care professionals experience the communication in dialogue conversations, and how they adjust their conversation using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) or other communication strategies. Methods: Communication …

The purpose of this study is to create an accurate experimental database for the passive (in vitro)freedom-of-motion characteristics of the human knee joint on a subject to subject basis, suitable for the verification and enhancement of mathematical knee-joint models. Knee-joint specimens in a six degree-of-freedom …

Abstract—In many biomechanical motion studies, kinematic parameters are estimated from position measurements on a number of landmarks. In the present investigation, dummy motion experiments are performed in order to study the error dependence of kinematic parameters on geometric factors (number of markers, …
