Persons with NP or LBP prefer to train on exercises supporting the improvement of everyday life skills. They use technologies in their professional and personal life, which may lower the threshold for the adoption of rehabilitation technologies. Implications for rehabilitation Persons with neck pain (NP) and persons with low back pain (LBP) prefer to train on specific activities that limit their functional ability during daily tasks. The underlying motives linked to preferred training activities are predominantly "being able to work" and "being able to perform free time occupations". Persons with NP and persons with LBP are accustomed to the use of mainstream technologies and the integration of these technologies in rehabilitation settings seems feasible. In order to enable technology supported rehabilitation that is client-centred, technologies need to offer an extensive number of exercises that support (components of) patient training preferences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
