Employment status of powered wheeled and seated mobility device users: a meta-analysis and systematic review
Higher levels of education, longer duration of PWSMD use, younger age, pre-existing employment and participation in vocational rehabilitation are associated with an increased likelihood of employment among PWSMD users. Sex, marital status and settlement type may not have an impact on employment. Further research is needed to determine most beneficial aspects of vocational rehabilitation and to explore the relationship between disability duration and employment in specific diagnostic groups.
