Abstract
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to determine the most frequent reasons for nonuse of adaptive equipment prescribed by occupational therapists in patients returning home after a total hip replacement surgery. Ten participants were obtained through a convenience sample and phone interviews were conducted. The results of this study indicate that patients are not involved in the process of deciding which pieces of adaptive equipment to purchase. Having identified the top reason for noncompliance with adaptive equipment, occupational therapists are now equipped with the knowledge to prevent future noncompliance by remaining client centered and considering client factors when recommending adaptive equipment.
