HAAT Model for AT, Functional Needs, & Human Performance

 

Overview of Tools of the Rehabilitation Bioengineer

A.  Technical Tools of the Clinical Rehabilitation Engineer (the "added value")
  • Biomechanics Prowess  (statics, solids, dynamics, tissue mechanics)
  • Electronics/Mechatronics (circuits, devices, sensors, motors, safety)
  • Computer Proficiency (as user/prescriber)
    • human-computer interfaces
    • CAD and other computer-aided engineering tools
  • Conceptual Systems Framework (Musculoskeletal/Neuromotor)
  • Design Capabilities (methodology ... teaming ... analysis/synthesis ... iterative process)
B. Other Tools for Rehab BME's
