Understanding current state of knowledge about perspectives and use of AT by PwMS may support critical thinking about AT acquisition process. The aim of this scoping review was to map what is known about AT use by PwMS, to identify gaps in knowledge to guide future research and practice for AT matching. A scoping review of qualitative research on perspectives and use of AT by PwMS searched four databases (Medline, CINAHL, PsychNet, and Engineering Village). Papers included focused on non-institutional settings, addressed participant's feelings/perceptions/experiences, and were in English. Initial search October 2021, updated 2022 and 2023. Two reviewers conducted screening, review, and extraction, with a third resolving disagreements. Data extraction guided by the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement, categorised AT use by productivity, self-care, and/or leisure occupations. Covidence® was used for extraction. Findings were exported into a spreadsheet to facilitate thematic analysis. Search identified 22 peer-reviewed journals and 11 consumer publications (n = 33). Most common AT was mobility devices. Primary purposes were self-care and leisure. Common use included functional mobility, transportation, personal care, household management, recreation, and socialisation. Perceptions focused on AT need, adjusting to AT, influencing factors, performance and engagement improvements, and seeking acquisition advice. Lack of research on experiences and use of AT beyond mobility equipment, and for engagement of daily activities. Evidence provides some insights for future directions and implications to support AT acquisition for PwMS. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION: Persons with Multiple Sclerosis use a range of assistive technologies to enable them to engage in daily life activities categorised by leisure, self-care, and productivity. Perceptions focused on their need for assistive technologies, adjusting or change experienced due to assistive technologies, experience with influential factors (funding, environment), and seeking advice. Lack of current qualitative evidence on assistive technology use by persons with Multiple Sclerosis, specifically on devices such as dictus band, raised toilet, walking poles, reminder systems and calendars, grabber, adjustable bed, virtual and voice activated assistants, tub transfer board, and home modifications for use by persons with Multiple Sclerosis. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
