Technology development in rehabilitation has progressed rapidly in the past five years. However, the question remains: “Will these rehabilitation technologies eventually be accepted by and regularly utilized by consumers?” This session, through a combination of presentations, demonstrations, and a panel, will address many of these concepts and provide real-world examples of technologies in various phases of development and implementation.

Learning Objectives:

State three barriers to end user uptake of rehabilitation technologies
Evaluate their own research or clinical practice methods and revise (if necessary) to be more inclusive and thoughtful of end user acceptance of technology
Critique the acceptability of at least two demonstrated technologies for their own research or clinical practice
