 II. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Assistive devices play a crucial role in supporting individuals with
physical dysfunction in performing ADLs (Smith et al., 2018).
These devices encompass a wide range, including mobility aids,
adaptive utensils, and specialized tools designed for specific daily tasks
(Jones & Brown, 2019) a systematic review by Johnson et al. (2020)
found that the use of assistive devices significantly improved functional
outcomes and overall quality of life for individuals with physical
limitations. Their expertise in assessing individual needs, providing
training, and ensuring proper customization contributes to the optimal
use of these devices in ADLs (Miller et al., 2019)

-Dysfunction is loss of ability or the reduction in

one’s capacity to perform daily tasks.
-The primary goal of occupational therapy is to
enable people to participate in everyday life

 -Assistive devices is of
fundamental importance for
persons with permanent or
temporary functional difficulties as
it improves their functional ability,
and enables and enhances their
participation and inclusion in all
domains of life

 DATA COLLECTION:
Data is collected through interviews, observation, direct measurements using
the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and direct
intervention on the subjects. This multi-method approach strengthens the
reliability of the findings

OUTCOME MEASUREMENT:
The study uses COPM to measure the effectiveness of interventions. COPM is
a well-established tool in occupational therapy, providing a comprehensive
assessment of performance and satisfaction

 INTERVENTION:
The intervention involves providing assistive devices based on individual client
needs. The study acknowledges the importance of assessing client capabilities
before determining the type of assistive device, aligning with best practices

RESULTS PRESENTATION:
The results are presented clearly, detailing the performance and satisfaction
scores before and after the assistive devices intervention for each subject. The
average scores indicate positive improvements.
