 note = {application/pdf, 論文(Article), There are limited publications concerning rehabilitation services in the sub-Saharan African countries. Therefore, identifying and understanding the challenges in prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) practice and education is very important. A survey was carried out in Ghana to identify the current situation in the field of prosthetics and orthotics. Thirteen technicians and seven students responded to the questionnaire. The results showed that prosthetics and orthotics face many challenges, mainly related to the lack of trained professionals, lack of infrastructure, lack of materials and machines including motions analysis devices for outcome measurements for the devices provided. Educational and technical reforms need to be established for effective services. Furthermore, an understanding of the current position and challenges in P&O in Ghana can contribute to the development of strategies for a sustainable rehabilitation service expansion in the African sub region.},
