The mean age was 68.7 years (95% confidence interval [CI] = 39.9\u201097.5 years), and 47.8% of the participants were men.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two face\u2010to\u2010face interviews about mobility and mobility\u2010related participation were conducted with participants in their homes. The first interview took place shortly before the participants received their powered mobility device, and the second took place about 1 year later (mean, 386.9 days; standard deviation = 52.78).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main Outcome Measures<\/jats:title><jats:p>Changes in frequency, ease\/difficulty, and number of mobility\u2010related aspects of participation in daily life were investigated in the total sample and in subgroups by means of the NOMO 1.0 instrument, applying a structured interview format.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the total sample, the frequency of shopping for groceries (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001, effect size = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.08\u20100.50) and going for a walk\/ride (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001, effect size = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.41\u201083) increased, whereas the number of aspects of participation performed (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001) increased only slightly. Going to a restaurant\/caf\u00e9\/pub, shopping for groceries, doing other shopping, posting letters, going to the bank or the chemist's, going for a walk\/ride, and visiting family\/friends became easier (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001 to <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .001); effect sizes varied between 0.50 (95% CI = 0.29\u20100.71) and 0.85 (95% CI = 0.63\u20101.07).

The effects varied with regard to the subgroups. The present study further strengthens the current evidence that powered mobility devices increase mobility\u2010related participation in daily life among certain subgroups of adults with mobility restrictions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmrj.2015.02.001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,10]],"date-time":"2015-02-10T05:01:15Z","timestamp":1423544475000},"page":"859-870","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Effectiveness of Powered Mobility Devices in Enabling Community Mobility\u2010Related Participation: A Prospective Study Among People With Mobility Restrictions"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Terje","family":"Sund","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susanne","family":"Iwarsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heidi","family":"Anttila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c5se","family":"Brandt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","volume-title":"International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/apmr.2002.28020"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","unstructured":"The Norwegian Labour and Welfare Service NAV.
