L'acceptation des aides techniques robotisées par la personne en situation de handicap moteur : une approche psychologique

Among the different types of disability, loss of motor skills is particularly severe in the consequences and the suffering it causes is both physical and mental. It results in the situations of disability particularly difficult and persistent. For these people, the assistive robotics for motor disabilities can be an alternative relevant in so far as she offers new opportunities for action on the environment. However, a number of studies show the existence of problems related to the acceptance of assistive robotics by people with disability. On one hand, we emphasize the decisive nature of the process of adapting to disability that determines the point of view (subjective) of the person on its situational and functional status. On the other hand, we emphasize the lack of consideration of people with disability in the design of assistive robotics. From a theoretical model of system for identification and measurement handicap, this article offers recommendations aimed at taking into account the people with disability in the design of assistive robotics and promote its acceptance of the system.
