(1) Technology integration involves cognitive and emotional labour for clinicians, stemming from determining the value-add of advanced technology, juggling learning demands and negotiating patients’ high expectations of technology. (2) Contextual factors shape clinician uptake and ongoing use of technology, including organisational culture, professional discipline, rehabilitation setting, patient characteristics and device features. (3) Shared understanding and priorities promote technology implementation and sustainment, including understanding advanced technology in relation to conventional therapy, creating a well-designed training model, equipping clinicians to manage patient expectations and maintaining a commitment to evidence-based practice. …”
