SIVA Template for the individual Assistive Technology Intervention Report
Editorial data: Portale SIVA Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi
Abstract: Individual assessment for assistive technology requires a detailed analysis of the user's needs, the ability to guide the user to establish priorities and define objectives, and the ability to formulate recommendations for the most appropriate solutions. In good practice, the outcome of an individual assessment should be writted down in a good assessment report that synthesises all the carried-out analyses and trials, describes the recommended solutions and enclosed all needed documentary evidence. The enclosed template - which is freely downloadable and can be used by anybody interested - is the result of many years of research and experimental trials witin the Current Research programme of the Fondazione Don Gnocchi Clinical Research Institute (under the Biomedical Research Programme of the Italian Ministry of Health). It can track the whole assistive technology service delivery process from the initial assessment (assistive technology recommandation) to the verification of the assistive solutions provided and the subsequent follow-up. TECHNICAL NOTES : the file is a fillable PDF; it was developed by means of a specialized software (Adobe LiveCycle Designer) but can be opened and filled-in by means of any free PDF reader (such as Acrobat Reader DC). Depending on your Internet browser and your Acrobat Reader version, you may experience difficulties in opening the form on-line (a typical message is "To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer". In this case you may wish to download the form onto your computer (right click > save this link with a name) and open it locally, or upgrade your Acrobat Reader to the latest version available on www.adobe.com. The filled-in data can be also exported into XML for later filing and statistical processing (to do this, some basic programming skills are needed).

The EATS Instrument Kit (Efficiency of Assistive Technology and Services)
Editorial data: CMT Department of Health and Society, Linkoping University, Sweden
Abstract: The EATS Instruments Kit is a battery of instruments for rating the benefits the user/patient obtains from rehabilitation measures, particularly from the adoption of an assistive device. It was developed between 1997 and 1999 within the EU-funded project EATS (Efficiency of Assistive Technology and Services) by a Consortium of five Institution from Sweden, Norway,Italy and The Netherlands. The instruments included in the battery are generic and make comparisons possible between different measures, and between different groups of disabilities. The EATS Kit consists of two instruments: the IPPA (Individually Prioritised Problems Analysis), which is intended to measure how well the measures have succeeded in decreasing the problems encountered in daily life by a person with disabilities; and the PIRS (Problems Impact Rating Scale), which is a visual analogue scale (VAS) intended to measure how the user’s problems affect everyday life. In addition, the kit includes a five-dimensions version of the EuroQol, (EQ-5D), a standardised generic life quality instrument that has been supplemented with two additional questions.

Abstract: (text automatically translated from Italian) The European study EUSTAT (Empowering Users Through Assistive Technology), as well as to develop a set of training materials for the education of persons with disabilities to independence through the use of assistive devices, has developed an analysis tool that helps the need user and operator, through the compilation of a couple of cards, to identify more precisely the needs of the user in order to formulate targets for intervention. The first tab (analysis of problem assets) proposes a list of 22 typical activities of daily living (that the user can freely complete adding any other activity) and asked to describe in one sentence - only for those activities that have some difficulty - in what is exactly the problem. The second tab, then be completed for each of those activities that had been identified as problematic in the first tab, asks to further deepen the description of the problem, eg by stating the place, time and circumstances, what do you expect for the future , and if you already have some idea about how to solve it.

The FABS/M Instrument for assessing facilitators and barriers to mobility
Editorial data: Portale SIVA Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi Onlus
Abstract: (text automatically translated from Italian) The FABS/M Form is a questionnaire aimed at people with mobility problems due to mobility limitations, and therefore needing aids (wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, canes, etc. ...). It analyzes how the various elements in the environment are perceived by the person himself, when it moves with their aids, such as facilitators rather than as barriers. The questionnaire is divided into six domains: aids in use, features dellla home, public buildings and the natural environment, access to public places, accessibility of services in the area, support network. In each section, we asked questions relating to the various environmental elements that most commonly you may encounter (eg. In the "home" is asked how the element "scale" influences their participation, how to help rather than a hindrance, and with that frequency). Overall, the questionnaire helps to understand how the aid represents a facilitating element in the life of the user or whether there are environmental elements that undermine the effectiveness, in order to identify possible corrective actions.

Pictorial System Usability Scale (P-SUS) - Developing an Instrument for Measuring Perceived Usability
Editorial data: Università di Friburgo - Dipartimento di Psicologia
Abstract: Pictorial multi-item scale, called P-SUS (Pictorial System Usability Scale), which aims to measure the perceived usability of mobile devices. The scale is based on the established verbal usability questionnaire SUS (System Usability Scale). A user-centred design process was employed to develop and refine its 10 pictorial items. The scale was tested in a first validation study (N=60) using student participants. Psychometric properties (convergent validity, criterion-related validity, sensitivity, and reliability), as well as the motivation to fill in the scale were assessed. The results indicated satisfactory convergent validity for about two-thirds of the items. Furthermore, strong correlations were obtained for the sum scores between verbal and pictorial SUS, and the pictorial scale was perceived as more motivating than the verbal questionnaire. The P-SUS represents a first attempt to provide a pictorial usability scale for the evaluation of (mobile) devices.
