The gaps between the implementation of evidenced best-practice models of rehabilitation care in high-income (HIC) vs. middle-/low-income (MLIC) countries are well documented. However, both HIC and MLIC have different Challenges and Barriers for successful implementation of quality care. These challenges and barriers are even greater in rural and urban settings without high-quality medical/professional resources. This presentation will contrast “top-down” vs. “bottom-up” approaches to developing best-practice models of rehabilitation driven by what is practical, functional and culturally appropriate for the person and family served. The presenter’s work in New Zealand and China will provide a framework for developing best-practice “bottom-up” approaches for individuals, communities and cultures.
