Determinants of the number of ATDs used by community-dwelling people recovering from stroke with mild cognitive impairments: A path analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: This study examined the associative relationships among age, cognition, anxiety, and participation in explaining the number of Assistive Technology Devices (ATDs) used by stroke survivors through path analysis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 196 community-dwelling stroke survivors. Data on ATD usage, cognitive function (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), anxiety (Beck Anxiety Inventory), and participation (Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation) were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and Amos 24.0. Results: The modified path model demonstrated a good fit to the data. Age, anxiety, and participation had direct effects on the number of ATDs used, while cognition did not show a statistically significant effect. Anxiety also had an indirect effect through participation, indicating a dual role of participation in either increasing or reducing ATD reliance. Age influenced anxiety and participation both directly and indirectly. Conclusions: This study identified the pathways through which age, anxiety, and participation influence ATD usage among stroke survivors. Given the complexity of interplay of psychological and functional factors, ATD prescriptions should adopt a user-centered approach, considering participation levels, psychological responses, and environmental factors to optimize effectiveness and long-term use.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
