Objective:

To assess the behavioral components of use and intention to use for digital technologies in pediatric motor rehabilitation and identify key acceptance factors for improving implementation in clinical practice.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Approximately two-thirds of European respondents reported regular use of digital technologies for pediatric motor rehabilitation, indicating a significant level of engagement with these tools.
    • The UTAUT model was hypothesized to explain use behavior for the three digital technologies assessed, focusing on performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence.
    Interpretation:

    The study aims to provide insights into the behavioral factors influencing the acceptance of digital technologies in pediatric rehabilitation.

    Limitations:
    • The study focuses on behavioral aspects rather than technical aspects of digital technology implementation.
    • Responses were collected from health care professionals, which may not fully represent the perspectives of all stakeholders involved in pediatric rehabilitation.
    Conclusion:

    The findings enhance understanding of the acceptance of digital technologies in pediatric rehabilitation.
