Examine the design of rehabilitative devices.
Examination should include examples of
• collecting and analyzing data for use in designing solutions (e.g., gait analysis, grip strength, range of motion, anthropometric data for wheelchairs)
• mechanical devices (e.g., exercise equipment, rehabilitation robotics)
• adherence to a rehabilitation treatment plan
• other rehabilitation (e.g., virtual reality, telerehabilitation).
Process/Skill Questions:
• What are examples of rehabilitative devices? What is the importance of each?
• What is adherence? Why is it important to design for it?
• What is virtual reality? How is it used in rehabilitation? Why is it important?
