Knowledge about how mobility devices are integrated into occupational performance is important to improve participation in daily life among users and assistive technology provision. This study aimed to identify and synthesise literature on how mobility device users integrate their devices into occupational performance.
A narrative review was conducted with a systematic search in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO and SocINDEX for scientific, original, peer-reviewed journal publications in the English or Scandinavian languages. Following search terms were used: mobility devices, occupational performance and synonyms. Publications were screened and read, and data were extracted by two authors independently.
A total of 4088 hits led to the identification of six publications. Two categories were identified: (1) how mobility devices are integrated into occupational performance and (2) for what types of occupations beyond mobility are mobility devices used for; seven types were revealed.
Mobility devices are integrated into occupations in unique ways to the individual users, shaping how occupations are performed and are used for different types of occupations beyond mobility. Since mobility device use is situational, it is suggested to investigate assistive technology use, applying a transactional perspective to improve assistive technology provision to increase fulfilment of users' needs and preferences.
了解移动设备如何融入职业表现对于提高用户参与日常生活以及辅助技术的提供非常重要。本研究旨在识别和综合有关移动设备用户如何将其设备融入职业表现的文献。
进行了一项叙述性综述，在PubMed、CINAHL、PsycINFO和SocINDEX中进行系统检索，以查找英文或斯堪的纳维亚语的科学、原创、同行评审期刊出版物。使用了以下检索词：移动设备、职业表现及同义词。对出版物进行筛选和阅读，数据由两位作者独立提取。
共检索到4088条结果，最终确定了6篇出版物。确定了两类：（1）移动设备如何融入职业表现；（2）移动设备用于除移动之外的哪些职业类型；共揭示了七种类型。
移动设备以独特的方式融入个体用户的职业中，塑造了职业的执行方式，并用于移动之外的不同职业类型。由于移动设备的使用是情境性的，建议从交互视角研究辅助技术的使用，以改善辅助技术的提供，从而更好地满足用户的需求和偏好。
