Large foundation models (FMs) -- including large language model (LLM), large vision model (LVM), vision language model (VLM), and related variants -- are rapidly reshaping interactive assistive technologies during past years. We present a review of FM-enabled interactive systems for people with mobility impairments, covering work published from January 2020 to May 2025. Searching five databases, we screened 6,249 records and included 27 full papers. We first summerize descriptive results including study design and evaluation approaches of the reviewed studies. We then synthesize FM techniques, model integration patterns, interaction paradigms, and mobility impairment contexts. Our analysis surfaces and distills both technical and ethical challenges existed, lighting up future research topics. We contribute: (i) a conceptualization of FM-enabled interactions for mobility impairment functioning as a design space; (ii) a tabulated corpus with a reproducible codebook; and (iii) a forward agenda to guide and inspire the design of future mobility-assistance interactive systems within human-computer interaction (HCI) and CHI community.
