Title
Improving Web Accessibility: Evaluation And Analysis Of A Telerehabilitation Platform For Hip Arthroplasty Patients
Abstract
Currently, the accelerated evolution of technology and the adoption of new platforms in the field of telerehabilitation pose considerable challenges in the field of web accessibility. Web accessibility aims to make web pages usable by the maximum number of people, regardless of their knowledge, personal abilities or the technical characteristics of the equipment used to access the Web. This paper presents the accessibility evaluation of ePHoRt, a web platform that aims to improve the rehabilitation of patients after a total or partial hip replacement operation known as arthroplasty. The accessibility method is based on the Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology 1.0 that considers the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. We evaluate first the accessibility of ePHoRt using the WAVE automatic tool. Then, manual inspection was performed. Based on the results, we present recommendations to ensure that the application is accessible and inclusive. The results can serve for future work related to web accessibility in telerehabilitation platforms.
