Impact of Seating and Mobility Services for Individuals With Disabilities in El Salvador

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The findings suggest that seating and mobility services provided by rehabilitation professionals in El Salvador improved occupational performance for people with disabilities. Compared with STMMs that solely provide equipment, the findings emphasize the importance of professional service provision with education and training as best practice. What This Article Adds: Seating and mobility services delivered through a STMM model may improve occupational performance for individuals with disabilities. However, STMMs should be carefully planned in collaboration with in-country partners, provide customized seating systems, and include education and training from licensed rehabilitation professionals.PMID:37540763 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050150
