Design solutions for a rehabilitation problem.

Design should include

•    defining the problem
•    performing background research
•    generating ideas
•    selecting a solution
•    justifying the solution
•    sketching a prototype
•    making a prototype of the device
•    documenting the process
•    evaluating the device
•    reiterating the process.

Process/Skill Questions:

•    Why is user involvement crucial for design?
•    When in the design process should users be involved?
•    Why is it important to test functionality and user interface long before the prototype is fully implemented?
•    How can one ensure that variability among people is considered in the design of rehabilitation engineering solutions? 
•    What skill sets are needed for problem solving in rehabilitation engineering?
