Research based evidence for provision of powered mobility to disabled infants and children is a growing area of concern for the child, their families and the clinicians involved with the assessment and prescription of equipment. A review of the main literature on powered mobility studies with children identifies gaps which need to be addressed in terms of normal development, play and the role of assistive technology. The approaches and research designs of powered mobility studies during the past twenty years are discussed and the case is made for a new domain of research which is currently underway. The study allows for a direction and design which is child led and addresses not only the motor and cognitive aspects but also the psychosocial aspects. The full methodology and results cannot be reported at this stage. The emergence of new assessment tools into the clinical field brings new knowledge and skills. This has to be put into context of existing attitudes and how they have evolved in relation to delivery of current services in the United Kingdom and the need for change. |
