MROC studies have primarily addressed activity and participation, with most studies suggesting increased functional mobility and social interactions due to MROC use. More robust research designs with larger samples are needed in order to develop evidence-based strategies for MROC use.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPhysical and occupational therapists may consider using MROCs as a therapeutic tool or accessible play opportunity as part of a multi-modal approach to increase children's mobility, family engagement, and participation in community life.Personal (e.g., child's enjoyment) and environmental factors (e.g., caregiver attitudes and stress) must be considered when developing plans of MROC use.
