The Effects of a Dynamic Arm Support in Daily Life

Sponsor: Hasselt University

Summary

The goal of this mixed method study is to learn about how a dynamic arm support device (DAS) helps people with everyday activities. The study focuses on people with neuro(-muscular) conditions, age 16 and older. The research questions that are formulated, are: * How does a person experience their daily activities, with and without a DAS? * What are the contextual (external and personal) factors that influence the use of a DAS? Participants will take part in three testing sessions. In each session, they must complete a few questionnaires and participate in an interview. The first time, without DAS. In the second and third session, they will be using their DAS (resp. 3 to 4 weeks and 3 months). The data collection will be executed by phone, digital questionnaires and/or paper.
