ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION (Questions 1–20)
1. The first step in the assistive technology assessment process is?
a) Device demonstration
b) Identify the consumer's needs and goals
, c) Secure funding
d) Select vendor
Rationale: Client-centered practice begins with understanding the user's priorities
and context.
2. The HAAT model stands for?
a) Hardware, Access, Assessment, Training
b) Human, Activity, Assistive technology, Technology
c) Hospital, Adaptive, Assessment, Tool
d) Home, Activity, Assistive, Team
Rationale: HAAT framework considers the interaction of person, activity, context,
and technology.
3. Which assessment tool is specifically designed for mobility devices?
a) QUEST 2.0
b) FMA (Functional Mobility Assessment)
c) PIADS
d) COPM
Rationale: FMA evaluates functional outcomes of mobility devices across
environments.
4. The ICF framework focuses on?
a) Diagnosis only
b) Functioning and disability across body, activity, participation
c) Technology features
d) Funding sources
Rationale: International Classification of Functioning emphasizes holistic functional
profile.
5. When conducting a seating assessment, hip angle is measured at?
a) 0° extension
b) Approximately 90° flexion
c) 45° abduction
d) 120° flexion
Rationale: 90° hip flexion is standard neutral sitting posture for wheelchair seating.
6. Pressure mapping should be performed?
a) Only on initial evaluation
b) With consumer in usual sitting posture for >10 minutes
c) While standing
d) Without cushion
Rationale: Tissue deformation requires time to manifest; usual posture ensures
validity.
