Abstract:
With a rapidly aging population， there is a huge potential demand for rehabilitation and assistive products and services. Especially in the global context where greater attention is given to disadvantaged groups， there is a need to cater to the needs of the elderly in terms of rehabilitation and assistive aid to improve their quality of life. Compared with developed countries， China’s rehabilitation aid industry is still in its early stages of development and needs to move away from traditional equipment manufacturing and integrate with intelligent manufacturing to provide more development possibilities and choices. International cooperation is expected to become one of the future research and development directions for rehabilitation aids. Taking typical cities and countries at home and abroad as examples， this paper explores the development of rehabilitation aids， and calls for the cultivation of more rehabilitation aid professionals to help more people in need.
