Summary
Assistive devices aid stroke recovery and social inclusion. In low-resource settings, individuals create innovative solutions when access to standard assistive devices is limited, promoting independence.
Area of Science:
- Rehabilitation science
- Disability studies
- Global health
Background:
- Stroke is a primary cause of disability, significantly impacting daily activities and social participation.
- Access to assistive devices is often limited in low and middle-income countries (LMIC), hindering independence for individuals with disabilities.
- Limited resources in LMIC necessitate the development of innovative, purpose-built assistive solutions.
