about the guIdelInes I 17 Following the ISPO Consensus Conference, the guidelines were further revised to reflect the discussion and consensus reached at the Conference. They were then peer reviewed by 21 wheelchair experts, whose views were considered in finalizing the document. WHO also collected the Declaration of Interests(DOI) from all the experts involved in the development of this document and none of them declared any kinds of Conflicts of Interests with the subject matters. These guidelines were approved by the WHO’s Guidelines Review Committee on 16 April 2008, having met the minimum reporting requirements in place at that time. It is anticipated that the recommendations in this guideline will remain valid until 2013. The Department of Violence and Injury Prevention and Disability at WHO headquarters in Geneva will be responsible for initiating a review of this guideline at that time. References 1.
