Mobility limitations are the most common disability type among the 61 million Americans with disability. Studies of patients with mobility limitations suggest that inaccessible medical diagnostic equipment poses significant barriers to care. We surveyed randomly selected U.S. physicians nationwide representing 7 specialties about their reported use of accessible weight scales and exam tables/chairs when caring for patients with mobility limitations. We performed a descriptive analysis of responses and used multivariable logistic regression to examine associations between accessible equipment and participants’ characteristics. The 714 participants (survey response rate = 61%) were primarily male, White, urban, and had practiced for 20 or more years. Among those reporting routinely recording patients’ weights (n = 399), only 22.6% (SE = 2.2) reported always or usually using accessible weight scales for patients with significant mobility limitations. To determine weights of patients with mobility limitations, 8.1% always, 24.3% usually, and 40.0% sometimes asked patients. Physicians practicing ≥ 20 years were much less likely than other physicians to use accessible weight scales: odds ratio (OR, 95% CI) = 0.51 (0.26, 0.99). Among participants seeing patients with significant mobility limitations (n = 584), only 40.3% (2.2) always or usually used accessible exam tables or chairs. Specialists were much more likely than primary care physicians to use accessible exam tables/chairs: OR = 1.96 (1.29, 2.99). More than 30 years after enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act, most physicians surveyed do not use accessible equipment for routine care of patients with chronic significant mobility limitations.
