Background: Principles and Policies behind Assistive
Technologies
- HAAT Model in Context
- Human Performance (Behavior, Assessment)
- "System" can include both human and AT
- Activities as a Concept
- Human as "Intrinsic Enabler"
- Assistive Technology as "Extrinsic Enabler"
- Designing AT and Environment for Successful Outcomes
Overview of Tools of the Clinically-Based Rehabilitation
Bioengineer
- Terminology: disability, medical (rehab/disease), movement science, anatomy/pathology
- Technical: Biomechanics Prowess (statics,
solids, dynamics, tissue mechanics)
- Technical: Electronics/Mechatronics
(circuits, devices, sensors, motors, safety)
- Technical: 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)
- Experience working with individuals with disabilities and medical professionals
