Brief Summary

Assistive devices are of critical importance for the independence and participation of disabled individuals in society and there is an increasing interest in them today. When the literature is examined, it is seen that there are few studies evaluating the use of orthotic and prosthetic assistive devices in terms of patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to investigate the satisfaction of individuals using assistive devices in a multifaceted way.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST)

  The Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST) is a survey used to assess the satisfaction of individuals using technological assistive devices. The first version of the survey, developed by Demers et al. in 1996 to assess the satisfaction of using assistive technological devices, consists of 24 items.
