Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the subjects, type, and trend of assistive technology,dependent variables, and assessment tools in studies on upper extremity assistive technology for supportingactivities of daily living.
Methods: The databases were collected using RISS, KCI, Scopus, and Web of Science. The studies were selectedaccording to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) flow chart.
Finally, fourteen studies were selected for analysis. The selected studies evaluated the level of evidence and thequality of applied methodology using a hierarchy of level of evidence-based practice analysis model and CriticalAppraisal Skills Programme Case Control Checklist (CASP Case Control Checklist).
Results: Of the total studies, 7 were 1-group non-randomized studies with evidence-level 3, and 12 studies metall items in the CASP case control checklist. Six studies applied the upper extremity assistive technology topeople with a muscular disease. For the applied assistive technology, arm support was applied in five studies anda robotic arm was used in four studies. More recently, this technology has been fused with advanced technologiessuch as robotics and 3D printing. The dependent variables for measuring the results of intervention accounted for31.7% of the upper extremity performance and 29.3% of the upper extremity function.
Conclusion: Through this systematic review, we are able to suggest the direction of research and services on upperextremity assistive technology for assisting in activities of daily living. In the future, a study with a high level ofevidence should be conducted based on a systematic research design, and the effectiveness of various factors ofthe use of assistive technology should be verified for users and caregivers.
