Innovations in paediatric rehabilitation engineering can serve as a
springboard to education, psychosocial, social, physical and
cognitive development for children and youth with disabilities.
Instead of providing an overview of rehabilitation engineering,
Paediatric Rehabilitation Engineering focuses on the uniqueness of
the paediatric subspecialty via an international sampling of
methods and techniques currently in use or in development. The book
is divided into three complementary components. The first group of
chapters is broadly concerned with connecting individuals to their
environment and to the people around them. The second group
revolves around paediatric technologies that compensate for
compromised or missing function. The final group of chapters is
about machines and environments which provide stimulating and
interactive platforms for therapy and research. Topics include:
Microswitch-based occupational, recreational and rehabilitation
programs Emerging access technologies, like infrared thermal
imaging and vocal cord vibration detection Communication
technologies to enable children to communicate in a variety of
everyday environments Accessible graphical user and Web-based
interface design Postural and upper and lower extremity
compensation, such as customized chairs and prostheses Global
efforts in the area of robotics for autism research Virtual reality
and other interfaces to mitigate motor, communication, and physical
control difficulties Paedriatric rehabilitation engineering offers
endless possibilities for future research with implications across
the fields of physical and cognitive rehabilitation, medicine,
computer science, and policy. It is the harmonizing of the
expertise and energies of rehabilitation professionals such as
teachers, families, paediatric rehabilitation engineers, and other
stakeholders that will ensure that children are optimally supported
as they embark on their journey from disability to possibility.
