The idea for forming this group was set by Birigit Bischof in 2015. In February 2016 twelve independent international experts met in Berlin, Germany and established a group for sharing resources of upper limb absence worldwide. Within this 2-day meeting the vision and mission were developed, the chair was elected and short- and long-term objectives were defined. Currently, the group has 13 core members working in 4 subgroups to address our objectives:
- Network and Communication
- Rehabilitation Resources for Children
- Rehabilitation Resources for Adults
- Financing and Formation
The group’s chair for 2018 is Birgit Bischof.
