Development of the Specific Adaptation Mobility Cane.
Arrington, S.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v89 n2 p174,176-78 Mar-Apr 1995
A travel cane was adapted for use by a 10-year-old boy with cortical blindness, severe mental retardation and cerebral palsy affecting his left arm and leg. The Specific Adaptation Mobility Cane utilizes the affected arm to hold the cane while leaving the other hand free for trailing walls, opening doors, carrying objects, and holding handrails. (JDD)
