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?
