The PYTHEIA is a self-reported measure for the assessment of rehabilitation and assistive robotics and other assistive technology devices. The development of PYTHEIA faced the absence of a valid instrument that can be used to evaluate the assistive robotic devices both as a whole, as well as any of their individual components or functionalities implemented. According to the results presented, PYTHEIA is a valid and reliable scale able to be applied to different target groups for the subjective evaluation of various assistive technology devices. }, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {11}, year = {2016}, pages = {522 - 526}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005588}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/119}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 119, 2016}, }
