The importance of adaptive seating system on body structure and function is widely accepted, but its impact on psychosocial aspects needs more consideration by health professionals. This article describes the Italian validation of the Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Device Scale (IT-PIADS) for non-ambulant people with neuromotor disorders.Once agreement has been given by the original authors, the scale was translated and adapted to the Italian culture. The IT-PIADS was administered to different wheelchairs users with heterogeneous diagnosis. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were examined. Its concurrent validity was evaluated with the Italian version of the WheelCon-M-SF.The IT-PIADS was administered to 87 subjects. Cronbach's was 0.92 ( < 0.05), and the test-retest reliability (ICC) for competence, adaptability and self-esteem subscales were 0.96, 0.90, 0.93, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient of the IT-PIADS with the WheelCon-M-I-SF scores showed significant data for competence and adaptability subscales.Psychosocial perception on assistive devices can be reliably measure. The IT-PIADS showed good psychometric properties and it is possible to confirm its validity for clinical and research purposes. Nevertheless, before using this measure with greater confidence, further psychometric properties tests of the IT-PIADS are recommended.
自适应座椅系统对人体结构和功能的重要性已被广泛认可，但它对心理社会方面的影响需要健康专业人员更多的关注。本文描述了意大利对非运动障碍神经肌肉疾病患者的辅助器具心理社会影响量表（IT-PIADS）的验证。在获得原作者同意后，对该量表进行了翻译和改编，以适应意大利文化。对不同诊断的轮椅使用者进行了 IT-PIADS 测试。对其内部一致性和重测信度进行了检查。其同时效度通过意大利语版 WheelCon-M-SF 进行评估。共对 87 名受试者进行了 IT-PIADS 测试。克朗巴赫 α 系数为 0.92（<0.05），能力、适应性和自尊分量表的重测信度（ICC）分别为 0.96、0.90、0.93。IT-PIADS 与 WheelCon-M-I-SF 评分的 Pearson 相关系数显示，在能力和适应性分量表上具有显著数据。辅助器具的心理社会感知可以可靠地进行测量。IT-PIADS 具有良好的心理测量学特性，可确认其在临床和研究目的上的有效性。然而，在更有信心地使用该测量方法之前，建议对 IT-PIADS 进行进一步的心理测量学特性测试。
