Abstract

Examining disability within the context of displacement is a vital area of study. Additionally, further study of assistive technology devices for refugees with disabilities and those in low-resource settings presents the opportunity to dramatically improve the safety and medical welfare of people with disabilities. Mobility Aid project is a pilot study in a Rohingya refugee camp with refugees who have suffered debilitating injuries and need to use crutches to walk. The goal of the project is to improve remote monitoring of disability in the context of displacement. It could be extended to many other environments where people walk with crutches on uneven and muddy terrain.
