Answering the widespread demand for an introductory book on
rehabilitation engineering (RE), Dr. Rory A. Cooper, a
distinguished RE authority, and his esteemed colleagues present An
Introduction to Rehabilitation Engineering. This resource
introduces the fundamentals and applications of RE and assistive
technologies (ATs).
After providing a brief introduction, the book describes the models
for AT service delivery, the design tools and principles of
universal design, and various technology-transfer mechanisms,
models, and principles. The text then explains the process for
creating assistive device standards, followed by a review of
seating biomechanics and soft tissue biomechanics. Subsequent
chapters examine design and service delivery principles of
wheelchairs and scooters, functional electrical stimulation and its
applications, wheelchair-accessible transportation legislation, and
the applications of robotics in medical rehabilitation. The book
proceeds to discuss prosthetic and orthotic design and usage,
visual and hearing impairment, Web-related AT, and augmentative and
alternative communication (AAC) technology. It concludes with an
introduction to adaptive sports and recreation.
Incorporating the critical aspects of RE and AT, An Introduction to
Rehabilitation Engineering focuses on the principles, modeling,
standards, devices, and technologies of RE and AT. It presents a
concise yet complete overview of RE to provide a solid foundation
in the subject as well as to stimulate further study.
