abstract: 'The objective of this study was to identify the interactions between

  impairment-related and work-related factors associated with

  recommendations for specific assistive technology devices (ATDs) for

  persons with mobility limitations who used workplace accommodation (WA)

  services. A retrospective and secondary data analysis was conducted on

  132 WA service users with mobility limitations in Taipei City from 2008

  to 2012 using chi-square automatic interaction detector (CHAID). The

  CHAID analyses revealed interactions between impairment-related factors

  (difficulty walking and upper extremity pain) and work-related factors

  (frequent moving around outdoors), which were significantly associated

  with the recommendation of powered wheelchairs (p < .05). Interactions

  between the impairment-related factor (difficulty walking) and the

  work-related factor (frequent sitting for long periods of time) were

  associated with the recommendation of ergonomic chairs (p < .001) for

  persons with mobility limitations. By identifying the interactions

  between impairment-related and work-related factors in recommending

  workplace ATDs for persons with mobility limitations, this study

  provides evidence-based ATDs recommendations for persons with mobility

  limitations.'
