This scoping review identified evidence from various countries, health systems, and stakeholder. Currently, this process does not proactively address the needs of individuals with mobility disabilities. The scoping review provides the foundation for the development of a novel policy on the provision of CRT services and devices to address these needs.Implications for RehabilitationExamination of national and international service delivery practices in diverse clinical and funding environments indicate various challenges and opportunities for improvement.CRT consumers are negatively impacted by current service delivery practices, including long wait times, lack of specialised clinical expertise, and limited consumer education opportunities.More consistent and widespread research is needed within the CRT provision industry to grow evidence-based practice related to complex rehabilitation technology and individuals with disabilities.
