대한보조공학기술학회지의 연구동향 분석: 창간호~2019년

Objective : The purpose of this study was to identify the trend of research in the research papers published in the Journal of Korean Society of Assistive Technology from 2009 to 2018. Methods : A total of 70 papers published in the Journal of Korean Society of Assistive Technology from the 2009 initial issue to the 2018 were surveyed, and a descriptive analysis was used to level of evidence, used assistive technology, participants, research topics, and researchers. Results : The papers published to the Journal of Korean Society of Assistive Technology had the most frequent number of Level Ⅴ studies(40%) on level of evidence, and 70% of researchers belonged to the school centered on the first author. The study participants were most frequent of normal adults(31.58%), and the most frequent of research topics were the related to assistive technology(46.48%). The applied approach to assistive technology has been the most studied for environmental modification(27.59%). Conclusions : Through this study could grasp the level of evidence, researcher's information, research participants, research topics, dependent variable, and applied trends of assistive technology in the published in the Journal of Korean Society of assistive technology. Through this analysis of research trends will help the development of assistive technology fields and the future research direction for the continuous evidence based assistive technology approach.
