Rehabilitation Engineering

3 Hours

Explores use of robotic devices in physical therapy for neuromuscular injury. Clinicians lecture each week on a specific malady, followed by critical review of the literature of that malady from the perspective of rehabilitation engineering. Shadows therapists and develops a prototype of a device for therapy, assistance or diagnosis of patients, or conducts an experiment to test a hypothesis in the field using a device. Only one of the following may be counted: Biomedical Engineering 381J (Topic: Rehabilitation Engineering), 384J (Topic 8), Mechanical Engineering 385J (Topic 24), 397 (Topic: Rehabilitation Engineering). Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
