Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Assistive Technology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

  • Powered mobility devices (PMD) enhance independence and quality of life for individuals with mobility limitations.
  • Access to PMDs can be restricted for individuals with cognitive impairments due to safety concerns.
  • This study investigates the link between cognitive function and PMD use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify cognitive functions critical for PMD operation.
  • Describe existing PMD training methodologies.
  • Inform PMD provision for individuals with cognitive impairments.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review was conducted.
  • Included studies examined cognitive predictors of PMD use and the impact of PMD training.
  • Synthesized findings on cognitive requirements and training outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Intellectual functions, attention, memory, and executive functions (judgement, planning, problem-solving) are related to PMD use outcomes.
  • PMD training significantly improved users' PMD capacities.
  • Six studies reported enhanced cognitive scores following PMD training.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive abilities are necessary for effective PMD use.
  • Individuals with diverse cognitive impairments can enhance their PMD capabilities through training.
  • Findings advance knowledge crucial for optimizing PMD accessibility and provision.
