The increased awareness of the benefits of rehabilitation technology will lead to an increased demand for services and may lead to discrepancies between needs and resources available. The present study was a regional follow-up of the use of 1278 technical aids. In this study the satisfaction with aids was high and quite near the optimum, but unsatisfactory areas were also identified. A better follow-up of the use of technical aids should be part of rehabilitation practice. Careful assessment of functional and psychosocial needs, goal attainment and environmental factors, and a good system of selection with available alternatives and proper instructions are the basic considerations for satisfactory technical aids.
对康复技术益处的认识提高将导致对服务的需求增加，并可能导致需求与可用资源之间的差异。本研究是对1278件技术辅助器具使用情况的区域跟踪调查。在这项研究中，对辅助器具的满意度很高，相当接近最佳水平，但也发现了不尽人意的方面。对技术辅助器具的使用进行更好的跟踪应成为康复实践的一部分。仔细评估功能和心理社会需求、目标达成情况及环境因素，以及拥有一个包含可用替代方案和适当指导的良好选择系统，是获得令人满意的技术辅助器具的基本考量因素。
