Understanding the interaction between stroke patients and a trunk rehabilitation device: Insight from the technology acceptance model.

In this work, we evaluate a trunk rehabilitation device intended to assess its potential in the treatment of stroke patients by introducing several trunk movements to overcome muscle impairment and assisting the physiotherapist and caretakers in providing daily care. To explore the acceptability and usability of the trunk rehabilitation device, assessment research including three possible user groups (stroke patients, physiotherapists, and caretakers) was performed. The results of this study are also presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
