The Abilitech™ Assist device is a passively powered orthotic device designed to support and assist the arms of patients with neuromuscular weakness for activities of daily living.

The Abilitech™ Assist is an externally worn device supported by a body frame, which is designed to support and assist the arms in activities of daily living (ADL's). The Abilitech Assist is comprised of three parts: a modular body vest that adjusts to accommodate different body sizes, a single arm orthosis that attaches to the body vest, and an external power pack and controller for tensioning the arm's internal springs to adjust the arm's level of assist. The device augments a user's native arm function to provide lift assistance. Software customizes the spring tension for the level of assist required. The user can turn the system ON/OFF and toggle and adjust the level of assist (e.g., low, medium or high assist) using a pushbutton controller.

The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure is an evidence-based outcome measure designed to capture a client's self-perception of performance in everyday living, over time. The COPM results in two main scores - PERFORMANCE and SATISFACTION - each out of 10. PERFORMANCE and SATISFACTION scores can be generated for up to 5 individual occupational performance problems. Average PERFORMANCE and SATISFACTION scores can be calculated by summing individual problem scores and dividing by the number of problems. Change in scores for both PERFORMANCE and SATISFACTION can be calculated after a reassessment interval and a comparison of individual's score differences from Time 1 (assessment) to Time 2 (re-assessment). Increases in scores indicate improvement in task performance and satisfaction.

The REAL is an instrument to help professionals assess an individuals ability to care for themselves at home, at school and in the community. This assessment includes 136 total items with two domains(ADL: 78 items, IADL:58 items) that are rated using a 4-point scale (0-3) to describe whether an individual is unable, sleds, occasionally, or frequently able to complete a task. Scores are summed for each domain and compared over time with increases in scores indicating improvement in each domain.
