Produktbeschreibung
The relatively young discipline of rehabilitation engineering draws on a wide range of specialist knowledge from the biomedical sciences to materials technology. Rory Cooper has recognized that graduate students beginning the study of rehabilitation engineering require a broad basis of background and motivational material to ease their introduction to the subject. The book begins with a wide-ranging but concise introduction to the legislative, technological, testing and design basis of rehabilitation engineering and follows this up with the fundamentals of design and materials and a full account of the biomechanics of rehabilitation. Major sections of the book are devoted to various aspects of mobility, including detailed discussion of wheelchair design. Valuable additional material deals with seating, prosthetic devices, robotics and the often-neglected subject of recreational devices and vehicles. More than a thousand references to the research and review literature put the reader in touch with the leading edge of a rapidly growing field.
