: A systematic review of 30 full-text articles was conducted on user acceptance of technologies that assist people who have functional difficulties (FD) with activities of daily living (ADLs) and mobility. Our objective was to better understand the adoption of mobility assistive products (mobAP) among people with FD. : A literature search in EBSCO, PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science yielded 423 articles. Ultimately, thirty articles met our inclusion criteria. : Four overarching themes were identified using a thematic analysis approach. The themes were . These themes highlight trends across studies that indicate that mobility assistive products have the potential to improve the well-being of people with FD. Still, significant efforts need to be made to improve the training with these devices. Moreover, researchers, healthcare providers, and designers should carefully consider the environmental, social, and facilitating conditions that moderate acceptance of these products. : This work advocates for more inclusive research design methodologies based on the limitations of the included studies. Ultimately, this review highlights the importance of understanding mobility assistive product acceptance among people with FD. By synthesizing the literature and identifying knowledge gaps, this review informs evidence-based decision-making for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and designers to develop user-centered healthcare assistive products, training, and assessments.
对30篇全文进行了系统综述，内容是关于用户对协助有功能障碍（FD）的人进行日常生活活动（ADL）和行动的技术的接受情况。我们的目标是更好地了解FD患者对行动辅助产品（mobAP）的采用情况。在EBSCO、PubMed、SCOPUS和科学网中进行文献检索，共得到423篇文章。最终，有30篇文章符合我们的纳入标准。采用主题分析方法确定了四个总体主题。这些主题突出了各项研究中的趋势，表明行动辅助产品有潜力改善FD患者的福祉。然而，仍需做出重大努力来改进对这些设备的培训。此外，研究人员、医疗保健提供者和设计师应仔细考虑影响这些产品接受度的环境、社会和促进条件。鉴于所纳入研究的局限性，这项工作倡导采用更具包容性的研究设计方法。最终，本综述强调了了解FD患者对行动辅助产品接受度的重要性。通过综合文献并找出知识空白，本综述为医疗保健专业人员、政策制定者和设计师提供基于证据的决策依据，以开发以用户为中心的医疗辅助产品、培训和评估。
