An Algorithm for Activity Recognition and Assessment of Adults Poststroke.

Importance: Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Providers have no robust tools to objectively and accurately measure the activity of people with stroke living at home.

Objective: To explore the integration of validated upper extremity assessments poststroke within an activity recognition system.

Caregiver-reported impact of access to switch-adapted toys on play for children with complex medical conditions.

Background: Play is essential for children's development of motor, social-emotional and cognitive skills. Traditional play activities are often difficult for children with complex medical conditions to access, which threatens their ability to maximize their developmental potential. Switch-adapted toys are a common strategy for expanding the play repertoire of children with disabilities by lowering the barrier to play with electronic toys.

Feasibility of customized 3D-printed assistive technology within an existing multidisciplinary amyotrophic lateral sclerosis clinic.

Purpose: Three-dimensional (3 D) printing of assistive technology (AT) is an emerging intervention in rehabilitation sciences. Existing research primarily considers narrow applications of this technology with most studies focussing on a single type of assistive device. Individuals with amyotrophic lateral scleroses (ALS) have high abandonment rates of prefabricated AT.
