Evaluating the Feasibility of Technology-Based Interventions in Disability and Rehabilitation: Definitions, Considerations, and Dimensions.

Josh Shore, Amy S Hwang, Rosalie H Wang

PMID 41980239

WHAT IT FOUND

This paper is a theoretical framework for researchers designing technology trials.

It defines what makes an intervention feasible but tests nothing on patients. There are no clinical results or evidence of effectiveness to apply to your practice.

What this paper is

This is a viewpoint article proposing a framework for defining and evaluating the feasibility of technology-based interventions in disability and rehabilitation. It does not report on any patients, outcomes, or clinical trials, so there are no findings here to change your practice.

Declared interests

No direct funding was obtained for this work. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.

The easy way to misread this

Do not interpret the proposed feasibility dimensions (such as usability or safety) as evidence that specific technologies are safe or effective. This paper defines how researchers should test these concepts in the future; it does not report the results of such tests.
