This project developed and pilot-tested a choice-based conjoint tool to quantify user preferences in upper limb prosthesis selection. Findings support its use in shared decision-making, highlighting user priorities like comfort, durability, and precision.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the development and application of a choice-based conjoint (CBC) tool for quantifying user preferences in upper limb prosthesis selection.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify key prosthetic attributes prioritized by users, such as precision, comfort, and durability, and how these influence device selection.
Upon completion, participants will be able to recognize the role of user-centered design and shared decision-making in improving prosthetic outcomes and aligning device complexity with user needs.
