Assistive technology was defines as assistive devices (hearing and visual devices excluded) and housing adaptations (p 521)
Costs for the assistive devices were calculated from the costs of the devices delivered from the Technical Aids Center and included employed personnel costs and storage space costs. Costs for prescriptions, training, and follow-up were excluded since patients received assistive technology at different times, at different clinics, and within the primary healthcare sector; therefore, we believed it would be impossible to get reliable data. Real costs for the community-funded housing adaptations were received by the civic administration of the city of Goteborg (p 521)
The number of ADs per patient varied between 1-19 in the SU group and 1-18 in the GW group (p 522)
Occupational therapy is an important component in such a multidisciplinary program, including the use of assistive technology. ... The cost of assistive technology was a small fraction of the total inpatient and outpatient costs for stroke care... the present study showed that AD costs were 2.1% of the total costs. (p 524)
This 12-month follow-up study has indicated the importance of a continuum and evaluation of assistive technology.... one of the reasons for nonuse of walking aids was that the patients had several different devices, because their health status and their capacity could vary depending on different weather conditions, environments, security, and accessibility. (p 524)
It is not expensive for the community to equip these patients and their caregivers with assistive technology. Early adequate prescription within the context of stroke unit rehabilitation may increase possibilities for an independent life. This study shows that economic resources for assistive technology should be made availabel for this vulnerable group of elderly stroke patients (p 526).
