Recent reports in the rehabilitation literature have suggested that treatment theory, intervention specification, and treatment fidelity have important implications for the design, results, and interpretation of outcomes research. At the same time, there has been relatively little discussion of how these concepts bear on the quality of assistive technology (AT) outcomes research. This article describes treatment theory, intervention specification, and treatment fidelity as interconnected facets of AT outcome studies that fundamentally affect the interpretation of their findings. The discussion of each is elucidated using case examples drawn from the AT outcomes research literature. Recommendations are offered for strengthening these components of AT outcomes research.
最近康复文献中的报告表明，治疗理论、干预规范和治疗保真度对结果研究的设计、结果和解释具有重要意义。与此同时，关于这些概念如何影响辅助技术 (AT) 结果研究的质量，讨论相对较少。本文将治疗理论、干预规范和治疗保真度描述为 AT 结果研究中相互关联的方面，这些方面从根本上影响了对其研究结果的解释。使用来自 AT 结果研究文献中的案例示例来说明每个方面的讨论。为加强 AT 结果研究的这些组成部分提供了建议。
