User-friendly rehabilitation exercise devices can enhance health and quality of life through the convergence of information communication and medical technology. The development of rehabilitation exercise devices accessible to individuals with disabilities is important. We aimed to investigate the convenience, safety, and effectiveness of the developed rehabilitation exercise device for individuals with disabilities. A usability evaluation of the developed rehabilitation exercise device was conducted with five rehabilitation exercise experts and six athletes with disabilities using a questionnaire, the reliability of the revised questionnaire was =0.87. Qualitative analysis was conducted using semistructured interviews following the testing of the upper limb rehabilitation exercise device by the two user groups. In the usability evaluation survey of the developed rehabilitation exercise device, the results were very positive, with an overall score of 4.25 out of 5. The highest score was assigned to the convenience of the device, followed by the effectiveness of the exercise and the safety of the device. The developed rehabilitation exercise device allows for three types of strength improvement exercises, including isometric, isokinetic, and isotonic exercises, all within a single device. Given that it is constructed with a wire system, it can be adapted to various exercise methods, depending on the type of disability. The device can be used by both nondisabled and disabled individuals, allowing for various exercise methods. The evaluation results indicate that the proposed device is highly versatile and practical.
用户友好型康复锻炼设备可通过信息通信与医疗技术的融合来提高健康水平和生活质量。开发便于残疾人使用的康复锻炼设备很重要。我们旨在调查所开发的康复锻炼设备对残疾人的便利性、安全性和有效性。使用问卷对所开发的康复锻炼设备进行了可用性评估，参与评估的有五位康复锻炼专家和六位残疾运动员，修订后问卷的信度为0.87。在两个用户群体对上肢康复锻炼设备进行测试后，采用半结构化访谈进行了定性分析。在所开发的康复锻炼设备的可用性评估调查中，结果非常积极，满分5分的情况下总体得分为4.25分。得分最高的是设备的便利性，其次是锻炼的有效性和设备的安全性。所开发的康复锻炼设备可在一台设备上进行三种类型的力量增强锻炼，包括等长、等速和等张锻炼。鉴于它是采用钢丝系统构建的，可根据残疾类型适应各种锻炼方法。该设备非残疾人和残疾人都可以使用，可采用多种锻炼方法。评估结果表明，所提议的设备具有高度的通用性和实用性。
