| In developing countries of the Asian and Pacific region, relatively few people have access to assistive devices which are essential for freedom of movement in daily life. This publication addresses the availability, within the region, of culturally-appropriate, high-quality assistive devices. The publication consists of 5 volumes: (1) Part I is a regional review of production and distribution of assistive devices in Asian and Pacific developing countries; (2) Part II contains country papers, most of which were presented at the Technical Workshop on the Indigenous Production and Distribution of Assistive Devices held in Madras, India, in September 1995. The three supplements are: (1) a directory of assistive devices produced in Asian and Pacific developing countries; (2) a listing of international mandates pertaining to assistive devices and; (3) technical specifications and information pertaining to assistive devices of relevance for small workshops and organizations concerned with community-based rehabilitation. |
