Sažetak
The aim of this study was to investigate the acceptability and usability of information technology as one mean of psycho-social rehabilitation of paraplegic and quadriplegic patients with spinal cord injury. From a group of 66 selected individuals, 17 (25.7%) have chosen a course in informatics as a priority of their interests. Out of 16 offered activities within the project, courses in informatics were rated on the sixth position, i.e. rated in the more popular part of the possible activities. 11 individuals out of 14 who entered the course (78.6%), successfully finished it and rated the course with very high notes (4.5 on scale 1-5). The informatics course presented the possibilities of teleconferencing and discussed the possibilities information and communication technology applications in the frame of a telerehabilitation project.
