About this study

This feasibility study will be conducted at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network (GSRN) in the collection of data examining 3D printing outcomes. The 3D printed devices are within the current normal and customary care of GSRN services, with the focus on the created 3D printed adaptations for mobile device usage (i.e. smartphone adaptations). The feasibility data will assist in understanding the satisfaction and performance of 3D printed devices for persons with a physical disability.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Being over the age of 18
  • Self-identified accessibility needs of the mobile device to address secondary to a physical accessibility limitation(s)
  • Accessibility requests of a device that has not already been addressed by 3D printing
  • Ownership or borrowing of a mobile device for personal use Operational definition of mobile devices: Mobile devices are a maximum length and width of 9.4" by 6.8" and must weigh less than 1.03 lb (e.g. dimensions of a standard iPad mini) and should be a one-handed use device with touch-screen capabilities

Exclusion criteria

  • Individuals with severe cognitive impairment (BIMS score of 7 or less)
  • Individuals who were unwilling to use a 3D printed device

Treatment and study plan

Custom 3D printed device

Other

A 3D printed adaptation for a mobile device.

Primary outcomes

  1. Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)

    Time frame: 3-4 weeks

    As a self-reported measure of occupational performance and occupational satisfaction, the scale ranges from 1-10, with 10 indicating a more favorable outcome in self-rated occupational performance and satisfaction.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0)

    Time frame: 3-4 weeks

    Participants will self-report satisfaction with the created and printed device and service on a Likert scale from 1-5, with 5 indicating maximum satisfaction.
