Influence of Low Vision Assistive Technology on Mobility Among Visually Impaired Individuals

Sponsor: Superior University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study investigates the influence of low vision assistive technology (AT) on the mobility and independence of individuals with visual impairments. The research aims to explore how various low vision devices, such as electronic travel aids, magnifiers, GPS-based navigation tools, and smartphone applications, impact the ability of visually impaired individuals to move safely and confidently within different environments.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Traditional Assistive Technology

Participants in Group 1 utilize traditional, non-digital assistive devices designed to enhance mobility and spatial orientation

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Digital Assistive Technology

Participants in Group 2 use modern, digital assistive technologies specifically designed to improve navigation, orientation, and real-time decision-making for visually impaired individuals

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Combined Technology Users

Participants in Group 3 use a combination of traditional tools (e.g., cane, magnifiers) alongside modern digital aids (e.g., smart canes, GPS apps). This group is important to examine how integrated usage of both types of technologies
