Factors associated with intention to use rehabilitation assistive technologies in older adults
The findings underscore the importance of perceived need and technology anxiety as key additions to the UTAUT model in predicting intention to use. However, the unexplained variance suggests that additional influences-including personal characteristics, environmental supports and barriers, and technology-related features-should also be considered in future studies to provide a more comprehensive understanding of adoption among older adults.
