Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Our research aims to examine 3D printed device satisfaction when using mobile devices for individuals with physical disabilities in long-term care facilities, and the impact of the 3D printed device integration on overall occupational performance and satisfaction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This feasibility study will be conducted at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network (GSRN) in the collection of data examining 3D printing outcomes. The 3D printed devices are within the current normal and customary care of GSRN services, with the focus on the created 3D printed adaptations for mobile device usage (i.e. smartphone adaptations). The feasibility data will assist in understanding the satisfaction and performance of 3D printed devices for persons with a physical disability.
