A review of assistive technologies, products and devices for toileting and
showering identified at least 15 separate terms across all studies, with another
two identified in subsequent studies. Terms are often used interchangeably, and
are often not defined or described. Inconsistencies in terminology affect the
quality of evidence available to policy makers, researchers and clinicians.
Researchers are encouraged to provide clear definitions and descriptions of
assistive technologies, products and devices for toileting and showering under
investigation. Implications for Rehabilitation At least 17 different terms have
been identified for assistive technologies, products and devices for toileting
and showering. Inconsistencies in terminology make comparisons between studies
difficult, and therefore affect the quality of evidence available to policy
makers, researchers and clinicians. Providing clear definitions and descriptions
of assistive technologies, products and devices for toileting and showering under
investigation is encouraged.
