Dependent variable data are all collected with an intra-class correlational analysis for the reliability assessment. The OT FACT documentation software used for data collection. OT FACT elicits the subjective judgments of raters and qualifies the judgments through a branching questioning structure called Trichotomous Tailored Sub-Branching Scoring. The use of double scoring procedures at discharge allows for teasing out the use of assistive technologies. Assistive Technology examples Results Preliminary data demonstrates the significance of using assistive technology in the outcomes of patients with stroke.
Data collection continues at the five research sites.
The preliminary data indicate that the use of assistive technologies does appear to make a difference in the functional outcomes of patients with stroke. Assessing the impact of assistive technology using OT FACT version 2.0. As predicted, OT FACT demonstrates success in its usefulness as an outcomes measurement tool for a stroke population. Current interest in measurement includes frequency measures and quality of life indices, including self-satisfaction issues. OT FACT Software and Operation Manual.
