Description

Rehabilitation and biomedical engineering are closely linked in various aspects and need to be studied together. For example, electrical stimulation and robotics technologies have recently been proven to facilitate rehabilitation outcomes. Knowledge of the state-of-the-art engineering technologies is required for students in biomedical engineering research. Furthermore, developing new technologies that assist rehabilitation requires thorough knowledge of physiological systems and understanding how they link to those technologies. This course will introduce various state-of-the-art technologies in rehabilitation engineering. To cover diverse research topics in the field, expert guest lecturers in each field will be invited. The physiological basis of each technique will be emphasized, to encourage students to understand fundamental principles of each technique and to seek applications in their own areas of research.
