Table 4 Reflective questions with three foci. Reflective questions following each session directed at the patient, therapist and the technology. It is critically important to evaluate all domains to effectively assess and progress utilization
From: A framework for clinical utilization of robotic exoskeletons in rehabilitation
Patient | Therapist | Technology |
|---|---|---|
Was the session successful in achieving goals for the session? | Can you identify any gaps in your knowledge which are needed for using this technology with this patient’s current presentation? | Is this technology still a good match for the patient’s deficits and goals? |
Were there any medical factors contributing to the session goals or completion of it? | Do you need to refer back to the manual or reach out to someone (mentor/manufacturer) for guidance? | Should you try a different setup or software program next session? |
Did the patient meet the intended cardiovascular intensity for the session? | Do you have a plan developed in how to progress this patient for the next session or coming weeks? | How will you modify the device settings to appropriately adjust challenge (increase or decrease) based on this session? |
