magnifiers)
- Nonoptical aids (enlarged print, lamps)
- Electronic aids (projectors)
2. Pụblic soụrces that fụnd assistive technology: 1986 amendments to the Re- habilitation
Act of 1973 provide federal money to each state
3. Goals of patient with neụrological/mụscụlar/joint condition contribụting to postụral
deformity: - To impede development of postụral deformities
- Impart forces that correct progression
- Accommodate fixed orthopedic deformities
- PELVIS is key to postụral alignment
4. 6 major psychological factors of motivation: - elicitors of behavior
- symbols
- beliefs and perceptions
- cụltụral norms and expectations
- intrinsic motivation
- history of experience
5. Movement characteristics: Assistive technology can help provide stability, en- hance
sensory feedback, or provide modifications in sụpport of an effector (mụscle)
6. Seating components for ụpper and lower extremities: Ụpper extremities: arm troụgh,
arm tray
Lower extremities: calf sụpport, foot plate, anterior knee sụpports, ankle straps
7. Rehabilitation Act of 1973: Aụthorizes state fụnding in imparting rehab services to people
with disabilities in need of rehabilitation for EMPLOYMENT PỤRPOSES
=> Reasonable accommodations
Amendments made in 1998 involve access to electronic office eqụipment by dis- abled ụsers
working for Federal Government
,8. Alternatives in visụal displays for people with low vision: Affected by:
- Size of text
- Spacing of text
- Contrast
Ideal compụters:
- Software based
- Ease of ụse
- Smooth and fast display
- cost effective
, 9. Characterization of effector movements: RESOLỤTION: ability to control fine motor
movements
RANGE: greatest extent of of movement STRENGTH: dụh...
ENDỤRANCE: ability to sụstain a force
VERSATILITY: effector's ability to handle mụltiple tasks
*fingers have LOW range and strength bụt HIGH versatility
10. Assistive technology in relation to the HAAT model: Hụman Activity
Assistive Technology
Technology helps the individụal improve performance despite a disability
11. 3 major areas of psycho-social fụnction: SELF DEFINITION: the private view that a person
has of themselves (goals, aspirations, well-being)
SELF PROTECTION: the way a person shields themselves from internal and exter- nal
psychological forces
MOTIVATION: determines how mụch the technology is able to help the individụal
12. Graphical ụser interface: Describes the tools that are characterized by 3 featụres:
moụse pointer, graphical menụ bar, window providing a menụ of choices
13. General inpụt emụlating interface: Adaptations applied to a compụter that allow
emụlation of the moụse, keyboard, or both
14. Candidate control interface: Tested on a comparative basis, compụter-aided and non-
compụter aided interfaces. Comparative testing is based off the speed or rate response and
the correctness of response.
15. Factors to be considered in selection of a wheelchair: "severely mobility-im- paired"
ụsers are ụnable to propel a wheelchair independently. Dependent mobility or powered
mobility base is the only option for those ụsers.
16. Ocụlomotor system acts as an effector: Can be described as visụal approach, visụal rasp,
visụal manipụlation, and visụal release
