Evaluating the compensatory function of intelligent assistive devices for the blind in China based on the International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health
BACKGROUND:The use of assistive devices and technologies for blindness is a common intervention for people with visual impairment today,improving participation in activities of daily living and work-learning abilities,and facilitating return to family and society.The forms,technologies and functions of assistive devices for blindness in the age of digital information and intelligence vary,and their classification has not yet been effectively discussed and evaluated in a uniform manner.OBJECTIVE:To classify and evaluate the compensation function of intelligent guide devices for the people with visual impairment in China based on the International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(ICF).METHODS:CNKI,CQVIP and WanFang databases were searched for relevant literature.The time frame for the search was from January 1,2013 to December 31,2023.Based on the ICF theoretical model and framework structure,the terminology structure and coding procedure were applied to summarize the relevant visual impairment assessment categories,collate and analyze the research and classification of the compensation function of intelligent assistive devices for the people with visual impairment in China.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 197 articles were finally included.There was 1 article on body function,containing b2(b210);1 article on body structure,containing s2(s220);119 articles addressing activity and participation,containing d1(10 articles involving d110,d115,d120,d140,and d166,)d3(4 articles involving d315,d325,d345,and d360),d4(102 articles involving d465,d470),and d8(3 articles involving d820,d825);76 articles addressing environmental factors,including e1(72 articles involving e115,e120,e125,e130,e140,e150,e155,e160)and e2(4 articles involving e210 and e240).(2)The ICF-based research classification of the compensation function of intelligent guide devices for the people with visual impairment contains 4 parts,8 classifications and 25 categories,with areas related to physical compensation,daily necessities,education and learning,traveling and blindness guidance,and layout planning.
