Powered mobility devices (PMD) promote independence, social participation, and quality of life for individuals with mobility limitations. However, some individuals would benefit from PMD, but may be precluded access. This is particularly true for those with cognitive impairments who may be perceived as unsafe and unable to use a PMD. This study explored the relationships between cognitive functioning and PMD use. The objectives were to identify cognitive functions necessary to use a PMD and describe available PMD training approaches. Methods. A scoping review was undertaken. Results. Seventeen studies were included. Four examined the predictive or correlational relationships between cognitive functioning and PMD use outcomes with intellectual functions, visual and visuospatial perception, attention, abstraction, judgement, organization and planning, problem solving, and memory identified as having a relation with PMD use outcome in at least one study. Thirteen others studied the influence of PMD provision or training on users\u2019 PMD capacity and cognitive outcomes and reported significative improvements of PMD capacities after PMD training. Six studies found improved cognitive scores after PMD training. Conclusions. Cognitive functioning is required to use a PMD. Individuals with heterogeneous cognitive impairment can improve their PMD capacities. Results contribute to advancing knowledge for PMD provision.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph182312467","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]],"date-time":"2021-11-30T04:48:37Z","timestamp":1638247717000},"page":"12467","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Relationships between Cognitive Functioning and Powered Mobility Device Use: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Alice","family":"Pellichero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 Laval, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"},{"name":"Centre for Inter-Disciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration (Cirris), Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire de Sant\u00e9 et de Services Sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale (CIUSSS-CN), Quebec City, QC G1M 2S8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa K.","family":"Kenyon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Grand Valley State University, Grand Rapids, MI 49401, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krista L.","family":"Best","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 Laval, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"},{"name":"Centre for Inter-Disciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration (Cirris), Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire de Sant\u00e9 et de Services Sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale (CIUSSS-CN), Quebec City, QC G1M 2S8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3301-7429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie-Eve","family":"Lamontagne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 Laval, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"},{"name":"Centre for Inter-Disciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration (Cirris), Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire de Sant\u00e9 et de Services Sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale (CIUSSS-CN), Quebec City, QC G1M 2S8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie Denise","family":"Lavoie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Laval-Biblioth\u00e8que, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c9ric","family":"Sorita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Bordeaux\u2014Handicap Activit\u00e9 Cognition Sant\u00e9 (EA 4136 HACS), 33076 Bordeaux, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5458-6233","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Routhier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Universit\u00e9 Laval, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"},{"name":"Centre for Inter-Disciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration (Cirris), Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire de Sant\u00e9 et de Services Sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale (CIUSSS-CN), Quebec City, QC G1M 2S8, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Della Fina, V., Cera, R., and Palmisano, G.
