Raut R., Pathak P., Kautish S., Pradeep N. (eds.) Intelligent Systems for Rehabilitation Engineering

New York: Wiley-Scrivener, 2022. — 265 p.Encapsulates different case studies where technology can be used as assistive technology for the physically challenged, visually and hearing impaired.
1Rehabilitation engineering includes the development of technological solutions and devices to assist individuals with disabilities, while also supporting the recovery of the disabled who have lost their physical and cognitive functions. These systems can be designed and built to meet a wide range of needs that can help individuals with mobility, communication, vision, hearing, and cognition. The growing technological developments in machine learning, deep learning, robotics, virtual intelligence, etc., play an important role in rehabilitation engineering.
Intelligent Systems for Rehabilitation Engineering focuses on trending research of intelligent systems in rehabilitation engineering which involves the design and development of innovative technologies and techniques including rehabilitation robotics, visual rehabilitation, physical prosthetics, brain computer interfaces, sensory rehabilitation, motion rehabilitation, etc.
