OTFACT

OTFACT is an xFACT software based data collection system that implements several unique strategies to measure assistive technology outcomes. The basic purpose of the instrument is to measure performance areas across diagnostic populations, and in various rehabilitation settings. The detailed information about the OTFACT can be found at the following link:
