Women Veterans and Mobility Aids
Approximately 1 out of 5 women indicated that their devices did not meet some of their needs. The unique needs of women veterans should be considered during the design and provision of MAT, and education should be provided on maintenance of the MAT. Future research is warranted to develop possible solutions for these gaps with the goal of improving women veterans' experiences and function related to MAT.
