| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Time to complete each transfer will be recorded | Time to complete each activity and each task within the activity will be measured in seconds. | up to 24 months |
| 2. A detailed hierarchical task analysis (HTA) of each activity will be completed using the video recordings and experimenter field notes for each transfer to asses the number of correct placements for each device. | Correct placement will be visually controlled with the use of markers on the subject and the final positioning device (e.g chair, toilet or bed) for each transfer. This will be reported as distance from the ideal position. | up to 24 months |
| 3. Physical load for movement of the hoist throughout the activities for each device will be measured. | Force required to complete the range of patient and hoist positioning tasks, forward, backwards, rotation movement, patient positioning etc. These forces will be used with the HTA data to calculate the amount of physical force delivered by the participants with each device and each transfer. The forces used will be presented in newton. | up to 24 months |
| 4 Collect subjective data from the caregivers that describe, comfort, ease of use, effort and willingness to adopt in practice, etc | This will be collected by the use of questionnaires | up to 24 months |
| 5 Subjective responses from the expert patient being transferred will be recorded | This will be collected by the use of questionnaires | up to 24 months |
