Given the lack of studies using standardized and objective measures on the effect of electronic systems that helps obstacle detection or orientation, the purpose of this article is to present a single-subject's case study of 4 users aged between 50 and 70 years old followed in a deafblindness program in a rehabilitation center. The Canadian measure of occupational performance suggests that the performance and the satisfaction are higher following the use of the Miniguide and the Breeze, two commercial electronic mobility aid devices, in four types of occupations (functional mobility, active leisure, community role, and socialization). The training was completed in 4 to 10 sessions (5 to 14 hours in total). The Québec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology reveals high satisfaction except for one participant regarding 4 of 8 items. Finally, a follow-up interview three months after training was done to evaluate the used features, the frequency of utilization, problems, safety and the impact on functional independence.
