In many low- and middle-income countries, only 5–15% of people who require assistive devices and technologies have access to them, and there are often few trained personnel to fabricate, adjust and fit these devices.

Increasingly, the benefits of assistive devices are also being recognized for older people as a health promotion and prevention strategy.
