The FEPSim device is a medical device for hand and wrist rehabilitation that can be adjusted according to the patient\u2019s requirements in rehabilitation. Furthermore, the FEPSim can be used to assess the patient\u2019s strength and range of motion of the forearm, wrist, and hand. At present, the acceptance and usability of the FEPSim have not been tested in a clinical setting, with limited perspectives from rehabilitation-providing clinicians.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to understand the factors related to the acceptance and usability of the FEPSim device. Upper limb disorders are prevalent across populations. The impact of upper limb disorders, both acute and chronic, puts a significant burden on the Canadian health care system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative descriptive study was conducted that involved face-to-face semistructured interviews with hand therapists from hand therapy services who used the FEPSim device. We used purposive sampling to recruit 10 participants over a period of 14 months. Semistructured interview questions (topic-guided) examined the technology acceptance and usability of the FEPSim device.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We found 6 factors to be critical aspects of the acceptance and usability of the FEPSim device.
