This study outlines a systematic approach to rehabilitation engineering, focusing on client assessment and task analysis for selecting and designing assistive devices to enhance function for disabled individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Assistive Technology

Background:

  • Rehabilitation engineering aids individuals with physical disabilities by providing assistive devices.
  • Current processes for client assessment and task analysis lack systematic delineation.
  • Engineers select or design devices to enable clients to perform life tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a systematic approach for client assessment and task analysis in rehabilitation engineering.
  • To delineate and systematize key components of the rehabilitation engineering process.
  • To identify generalizable concepts and needed tools for rehabilitation engineers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing human performance concepts for process analysis.

Related Experiment Videos
