This process often involves the physical restraining of children. These children are then lifted onto the operating table by healthcare staff after being anaesthetized. This predisposes children to fall risk and hospital staff to musculoskeletal injuries. We developed two concept mobility devices, IMOVE-I and -II, based on robotics systems comprising of restraint modules and multi-positional modality (sitting, supine, Trendelenburg). The aim was to intuitively secure children to facilitate the safe induction of sleep and ease of transfer onto operating tables upon sleep. IMOVE-I loads the child in standing position using a dual arm restraint module that is activated by trained healthcare staff. IMOVE-II loads the child in the sitting position by motivating the self-application of restraints. Opinions were obtained from 21 operating theatre healthcare staff with experience in the care of ASD children and parents with ASD children. The mean satisfaction rating of IMOVE-I was 5.62 (95% CI 5.00, 6.27) versus 8.10 (95% CI 7.64, 8.55) in IMOVE-II, p &lt; 0.001. IMOVE-II is favoured over IMOVE-I in system operation and safety, ease of use and module functionality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20174901","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,30]],"date-time":"2020-08-30T06:06:22Z","timestamp":1598767582000},"page":"4901","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["IMOVE\u2014An Intuitive Concept Mobility Systems for Perioperative Transfer and Induction of Anaesthesia for Special Needs Children"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9854-4302","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hwan Ing","family":"Hee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"KK Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Hospital, Department of Paediatric Anaesthesia, Duke-NUS Medical School, The Anaesthesiology and Perioperative Sciences, Singapore 169857, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiang Loong","family":"Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HOPE Technik Pte Ltd., Singapore 608614, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manolo STA","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HOPE Technik Pte Ltd., Singapore 608614, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aloysius","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HOPE Technik Pte Ltd., Singapore 608614, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haoyong","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, National University Singapore, Singapore 119077, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0000000000000705","article-title":"Managing Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Emergency Departments","volume":"32","author":"Ratnapalan","year":"2016","journal-title":"Pediatr.
