Abstract

Loss of physical mobility poses significant challenges to full participation in daily activities and can even lead to complete limitations. In India alone, based on census data from 2011, there are over 5.5 million individuals with lower limb disabilities who rely on manually propelled wheelchairs for their mobility needs. While wheelchairs, crutches, and tricycles are commonly used mobility aids in India, this paper explores mobility technologies that have been conceptualized and developed in other parts of the world to assess their potential applicability in the Indian context.
