The Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) maintains a Virtual Library, in which
you can find an entire section dedicated to adaptive devices:

This section contains links internet sites dealing with adaptive devices and
assistive technology, catalogs, and online versions of articles published in
the ACA's bimonthly magazine inMotion. This might be a good point to start
you search for information on specific assistive devices.

but maintain a regular newsletter you can subscribe to. Their Web site is
<URL Redacted>
You can also check with the National Center on Physical Activity and
Disability at www.ncpad.org. They have a lot of information regarding
assistive technology in the field of physical activity and recreation.
Last but not least, there is Closing the Gap. Computer Technology in Special
Education and Rehabilitation. I am not sure how well this suits your needs,
but this bi-monthly journal discusses the newest computer related products
for children and adults with special needs. You can read more about the
journal and/or order it at www.closingthegap.com
I hope this helps.
