This book contains a comprehensive overview of all current uses of
robots in rehabilitation. The underlying principles in each
application are provided. This is followed by a critical review of
the technology available, of the utilization protocols, and of user
studies, outcomes, and clinical evidence, if existing. Ethical and
social implications of robot use are also discussed. The reader
will have an in depth view of rehabilitation robots, from
principles to practice.
This book is a timely report on current neurotechnology research.
It presents a snapshot of the state of the art in the field,
discusses current challenges and identifies new directions. The
book includes a selection of extended and revised contributions
presented at the 2nd International Congress on Neurotechnology,
Electronics and Informatics (NEUROTECHNIX 2014), held October 25-26
in Rome, Italy. The chapters are varied: some report on novel
theoretical methods for studying neuronal connectivity or neural
system behaviour; others report on advanced technologies developed
for similar purposes; while further contributions concern new
engineering methods and technological tools supporting medical
diagnosis and neurorehabilitation. All in all, this book provides
graduate students, researchers and practitioners dealing with
different aspects of neurotechnologies with a unified view of the
field, thus fostering new ideas and research collaborations among
groups from different disciplines.

Master the assistive strategies you need to make confident clinical
decisions and help improve the quality of life for people with
disabilities. Based on the Human Activity Assistive Technology
(HAAT) model developed by Al Cook, Sue Hussey and Jan Polgar,
Assistive Technologies: Principles & Practice, 5th Edition,
provides detailed coverage of the broad range of devices, services,
and practices that comprise assistive technology. This new text
offers a systematic process for ensuring the effective application
of assistive technologies - and focuses on the relationship between
the human user and the assisted activity within specific contexts.
It features over 30 new photos and illustrations, as well as,
updated chapters and case studies that reflect current technology.
Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) framework locates
assistive technology within common, everyday contexts for more
relevant application. Focus on clinical application guides
application of concepts to real-world situations. Study questions
and chapter summaries in each chapter help assessment of
understanding and identification of areas where more study is
needed. Coverage of changing AT needs throughout the lifespan
emphasizes how AT fits into people's lives and contributes to their
full participation in society. Principles and practice of assistive
technology provide the foundation for effective reasoning. Ethical
issues content provides vital information to guide AT service
delivery. Explicit applications of the HAAT model in each of the
chapters on specific technologies and more emphasis on the
interactions among the elements make content even easier to
understand. New! Thoroughly updated chapters to reflect current
technology and practice. New! Expanded discussion on assistive
robotics and smart technologies. New! Review of global initiatives
on Assistive Technology. New! Updated art program with 30+ new
photos and illustrations. New! Updated case studies to reflect
changes in technology and practice since last edition.
