My team of 3 are currently doing research to make a proposal with valid data before the deadline in the next 4 days.<br />It&#39;s pretty much a tricycle fitted with an electric DC motor and an electronic control unit to be used by children with at least a hand to operate. However, we might change the general specification depending on our findings about disabled children and commercialized disabled-friendly tricycles/bicycles.<br /><br />I&#39;m trying to find some statistical data on physically-disabled children/adults to have an idea of what kind of physical disability most people have. For example, how many people were born without 1 hand/1 leg/both hands/both legs/both hands &amp; legs.<br />I&#39;ve been going through the WHO&#39;s website, UNICEF&#39;s database, and ChildInfo.org for that information, without ANY results.<br /><br />So I was hoping if anybody knows of some references that I could look into for the statistical data. It doens&#39;t matter if most reports/statistics are for adults with physical disabilities, but at least my team has some idea of that demographic group.<br /><br />Help &amp; discussion is greatly appreciated.
