Feasibility Study of i-ACT in Aged Persons (i-ACT-aged)
July 27, 2020 updated by: PXL University College
Intelligent Activity-based Client-centred Training (i-ACT) in Aged Persons
A mix-method cross-sectional feasibility study performed in five aged care institutes in Flanders, Belgium. A convenience sample of 48 aged persons was recruited and 12 supervisors (i.e. occupational therapy students and therapists).
Aged persons received a 20-30 minutes test with a technology-based system, i.e. intelligent Activity-based Client-centred Training system (i-ACT). The i-ACT consists of the Microsoft Kinect and adapted software in which movements can be recorded and training parameters can be set by supervisors.
During and after the test, the thinking aloud method was used. After the test, the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, the System Usability Scale, and the Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire were administered in the aged persons.

Usability of i-ACT
Time Frame: 10 minutes
|
Using the System Usability Scale to explore the usability of i-ACT in aged persons.
The System Usability Scale consists of a 10 item questionnaire with five response options for respondents; from Strongly agree to Strongly disagree.
The items scores are converted into a score from 0 (negative) to 100 (positive).
A score of 72.5 or higher is considered good and above 85.0 is excellent.

Credibility/expectancy
Time Frame: 10 minutes
|
Using the Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire to research the credibility and expectancy of aged persons when using the i-ACT for physical activity.
It is one test that consists of 2 subscales, i.e. credibility and expectancy, and scores range from 1 (totally not) to 9 (totally yes) and percentages.
The percentages are converted to scores on a scale of 1 to 9/ The maximum score on each subscale is 27.
A score of 13.5 is considered neutral, everything above 13.5 is positive while everything under 13.5 is considered negative.
