Physiotherapists’ User Acceptance of a Lower Limb Robotic Exoskeleton in Specialized Rehabilitation: Qualitative Exploratory Study

This study identified several factors influencing the physiotherapists' acceptance and integration of the lower limb exoskeleton. Available resources, such as time and personnel, were emphasized as important factors to increase the use of the exoskeleton in specialized rehabilitation. Our findings may inform service providers and engineers in specialized neurological rehabilitation settings.

Abstract

This study identified several factors influencing the physiotherapists' acceptance and integration of the lower limb exoskeleton. Available resources, such as time and personnel, were emphasized as important factors to increase the use of the exoskeleton in specialized rehabilitation. Our findings may inform service providers and engineers in specialized neurological rehabilitation settings.
