Description
Giovanni Iaselli and co-authors study, in twenty twenty-six, what hospital patients expect from assistive technology during nerve and motor rehabilitation. Such technology can raise quality of life, notably in the move from rehab to home. Success depends on knowing patients' function, needs, and stance toward tech. The team assessed sixty-nine inpatients in intensive rehab, most with a caregiver. They used questionnaires and scales of daily living skills, then grouped patients into low, medium, and high function levels.
Function predicted tech uptake and perceived gains more strongly than age did. Higher-function patients used tech more independently and scored higher on a tech impact scale. Daily living scores also tied to quality of life scores. The authors say rehab should build function first, not sort by age.
