| Abstract |
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this article is to explore the use of Mobile Shower Commodes (MSCs) by adults with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and to understand how adults with SCI and expert clinicians identify and select MSC designs and features. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven adults with SCI and eight expert clinical prescribers using semi-structured guides. Transcripts were analysed thematically using the Policy, Human, Activity, Assistance and Technology, and Environment (PHAATE) model as the underpinning theoretical framework. Results: Analysis of the interview transcripts revealed 3 themes and 12 sub-themes. The main themes were: (1) Activities, routines and interacting factors, (2) Features for functioning and (3) Getting it right. Substantial links existed between and across the themes and subthemes. Conclusions: The use of MSCs by adults with SCI is complex. MSC performance varies across activities, and during interactions between the user, the MSC, other assistive technologies, assistance and physical environments. Future studies should explore service delivery processes and develop validated clinical assessment instruments and outcome measures for MSC provision. Implications for Rehabilitation Mobile shower commode use is complex, involving nine distinct activities and three types of routines. Mobile shower commodes used by Australian adults with SCI are individualised to users and include customisations and custom-made components. Trialling individualised mobile shower commodes prior to funding is problematic and not reflected in assistive service delivery models. Validated clinical instruments for assessing and selecting mobile shower commode features are needed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 January 2020.
All research outputs
#8,262,445
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Disability & Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology
#300
of 824 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#68,611
of 209,083 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Disability & Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology
#6
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 824 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 209,083 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
