Usability Assessment Methods for Mobile Apps for Physical Rehabilitation: Umbrella Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Usability has been touted as one determiner of success of mobile health (mHealth) interventions. Multiple systematic reviews of usability assessment approaches for different mHealth solutions for physical rehabilitation are available. However, there is a lack of synthesis in this portion of the literature, which results in clinicians and developers devoting a significant amount of time and effort in analyzing and summarizing a large body of systematic reviews.

Objective

This study aims to summarize systematic reviews examining usability assessment instruments, or measurements tools, in mHealth interventions including physical rehabilitation.

Methods

An umbrella review was conducted according to a published registered protocol. A topic-based search of PubMed
