dc.description.abstractBackground: Through the use of assistive technologies persons in a minimallyconscious state could gain an active engagement role. Objective of the Study: Create an overview of assistive technologies used forrehabilitation interventions, which foster self-determination in adults in a minimallyconscious state. Methods: Through a literature search in the databases CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, PsycINFO and Medline publications were selected according to the following criteria: (1) adult persons (18+) with a diagnosis of minimally conscious state, (2) survey of assistive technologies. Findings: Persons in a minimally conscious state can use microswitches to activate an environmental stimulation or a voice output communication aid. Relevance to Clinical Practice: Interventions with assistive technologies are of crucial importance because no other intervention focuses on the acquisition of an active engagement role. Limitations and Recommendations for Further Research: Important results may be missed because publications, which involved beside persons in a minimally conscious state also persons with other disabilities, were excluded. Further research should assess the effects of the devices and investigate other related devices.de_CH
