“…The lack of motivation on the part of the client to use prescribed equipment could affect compliance negatively. Grynbaum et al (1963) found that the non-use of equipment in their particular study was associated with no subject improving his or her postdischarge ADL status (and some regressing). It has been suggested that motivation is one of the most important issues affecting rehabilitation and adaptation to disability (Kemp 1990).…”

“…Physical deterioration also affected compliance with prescribed equipment. In a number of studies, the client' s physical condition was described as 'deteriorating'; therefore, the intended activity was now impossible to accomplish and the prescribed equipment was inappropriate (Grynbaum et al 1963, Chamberlain et al 1978, Hollings and Haworth 1978, Shipham 1987, Parker and Thorslund 1991, Clemson and Martin 1996. Type of diagnosis has been raised as a factor influencing compliance.…”

“…When clients moved house between discharge and follow-up their needs might change, thus affecting use of prescribed equipment (Porter andJames 1991, Clemson andMartin 1996). The existence of environmental barriers was blamed for the non-use of equipment by clients who described their accommodation as inadequate (Grynbaum et al 1963). Kohn et al (1983) found that about 50% of the non-use of prescribed equipment was due to psychosocial problems that the client and his or her family were experiencing.…”

This article describes a literature review that examined the topic of the postdischarge compliance of individuals with prescribed adaptive equipment. Assisting individuals to accomplish tasks relevant to their activities of daily living and thereby achieve functional independence is central to the role of occupational therapy. The prescription of adaptive equipment is a frequently used intervention. The rationale for prescribing adaptive equipment is that it maximises a client's functional potential, allows for independence in activities of daily living and fosters confidence as a result of being able to accomplish such tasks. All studies that surveyed compliance with prescribed adaptive equipment between 1963 and 1996 were reviewed. The factors that reportedly affect compliance by individuals can be considered under five discrete categories: medical-related, client-related, equipment-related, assessment-related and training-related. On the basis of the findings of this literature review, recommendations are made for further research, specifically investigating methods that therapists could incorporate into current practice to address the problem of non-compliance with prescribed adaptive equipment.

“…Thus Berns et al published in 1967 2 reported that 31 patients with spinal cord injury retained their attained functional abilities at least for 1 year after leaving hospital. Grynbaum and coworkers 3 , however, state that certain functional skills, such as transfer and propelling a wheelchair, often deteriorate after discharge from hospital because of inadequate housing conditions. Scranton et al 4 Rogers and Figone, 5 as well as Runge,6 found that there was no change of functional abilities after discharge.…”

The increased number of young people with spinal cord injuries in Croatia led us to study their functional abilities after completing medical rehabilitation and extended hospitalisation, as due to destroyed homes, they had no place to return to. They were all wounded during war in Croatia (1990Croatia ( ± 1992 and their average age was 27 years. Our tetraplegic patients achieved a mean Modi®ed Barthel Index (MBI) of 57.3 after completing medical rehabilitation and 61.3, 3 years later, which is a signi®cantly higher rate than is given in Yarkony's study (30.3 ± 37.8) where American civilian patients were monitored.1 Patients with paraplegia showed similar results (74.5 ± 76.8) relating to those published by Yarkony (72.0 ± 75.6).

Prescription of adaptive equipment is a core component of occupational therapy practice. Adaptive equipment can help people with physical limitations to optimize their independence during the completion of activities of daily living. In this paper, we report the results of an audit of patients' use of eight pieces of prescribed bathing equipment eight weeks after discharge from hospital, and analyze the reasons for their patterns of use. Participants were 64 patients (mean age = 70.7 years, 62.5% female), discharged from a metropolitan hospital after treatment for a general medical condition or undergoing a surgical procedure, who had been prescribed one or more pieces of bathing equipment by an occupational therapist. The types of bathing equipment included in this study were shower stools, shower chairs, bath boards, hand held shower hoses, toe wipers, soap bags, nonslip mats, and long handled back brushes. Of 90 pieces of bathing equipment prescribed, an over-Trish Wielandt is a Doctoral student and Kryss McKenna is Senior Lecturer,
