| Annotation | The Measurement of the Quality of the Environment (MQE) questionnaire was used to gather data from 91 respondents aged 65+ regarding how they perceived environmental factors as having an influence on their participation after receiving home-based rehabilitation. Although few environmental factors influenced participation, most physical environments were perceived as facilitators of, rather than barriers to, participation. Factors perceived as facilitating participation included social network, social and healthcare services, commercial services, and the presence of technical aids in the respondent's home. (RH). |
