Abstract "This book will provide an overview of the rehabilitation engineering field, including key concepts that are required to provide a solid foundation about the discipline. It will present these concepts through a mix of basic and applied knowledge from rehabilitation engineering research and practice. It's written as an introductory text in order to provide access to the field by those without previous experience or background in the field. These concepts will include those related to engineering and health that are necessary to understand the application of rehabilitation engineering to support human function"-- Provided by publisher.
