American and Canadian therapists' perspectives of age and cognitive skills for paediatric power mobility: a qualitative study.

Conclusions: Data indicate wide variability in respondents' views related to the provision of power mobility. Additional research is needed to explore both therapists' reasoning regarding power mobility use for children and how to best facilitate knowledge translation in this area. Implications for Rehabilitation Wide variability exists related to the provision of power mobility for children. Children's age or stage in life influences therapists' consideration of power mobility. Many respondents considered cognitive skills when trialling power mobility but some did not.
