What this trial studies
This study focuses on enhancing the quality of prosthetic interventions and evaluating the effectiveness of assistive devices for patients with communication and motor disorders. Fifty participants will be recruited from the DAT Unit of the Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi in Milan, where they will undergo clinical evaluations and assessments at baseline and again 3 to 6 months after receiving assistive solutions. The assessments will include various scales and questionnaires administered through accessible technology to ensure inclusivity. The goal is to measure the outcomes of these interventions and their impact on patients' communication abilities and overall quality of life.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients in need of prosthetic interventions for Augmentative Alternative Communication, computer accessibility, and environmental control.
Not a fit: Patients who do not require assistive technology or prosthetic interventions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly improve the effectiveness of assistive technologies for individuals with communication and motor disorders.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches in enhancing communication through assistive technology, indicating potential for success.
