This resource focuses on the principles, modeling, standards, devices, and technologies of rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology. It describes numerous design models and processes, including participatory action design and service delivery models. The book also discusses the components of devices such as cushions, wheelchairs, prostheses, orthoses, hearing aids, and TTYs. The contributors assess industry standards and explore innovative technology aids, such as sensors, robot-assisted therapy, and speech recognition software. The text contains a set of learning objectives and study questions in each chapter as well as a list of definitions at the end of the book.
Appropriate for senior undergraduates and graduates, this text presents the underlying physics, electronics, anatomy, and physiology and addresses practical applications. The structured approach of the text builds and broadens the material of opening chapters in the later chapters. The book covers biomechanics, image formation techniques, biomedical devices, physiological signals and responses, and respiratory and cardiovascular function and measurement. It includes chapter problems with short questions to test understanding of the main principles and longer questions to test more in-depth knowledge, along with detailed bibliographies that provide references to introductory texts and research materials.

Providing a source of information relating to the technological challenges and solutions encountered in the accurate capture of anatomical data, this book covers computer-aided techniques and physical replication as used in a variety of medical disciplines. It comprehensively reviews the state of the art in the application of advanced design and development technologies in medicine. It also includes a reference source of peer-reviewed case studies describing the practical application of anatomical scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), rapid prototyping (RP), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques in a broad range of research, medical, and surgical applications.
Advances in the area of wireless and mobile telemedicine to diagnose and treat patients have drawn growing attention from healthcare providers and recipients, industry, researchers, and governments. This volume examines computing and network dilemmas which arise from wireless and mobile telemedicine. Comprised of the contributions of many prominent international researchers, the book gives an overview of patient care and monitoring, discusses the use of telemedicine in cardiology and diabetes, analyzes security and privacy considerations, examines issues relating to networking support, and concludes with a section on the opportunities and challenges that are faced by those involved in this exciting technology.
