"Rehabilitation engineering is the systematic application of engineering sciences to design, develop, adapt, test, evaluate, apply, and distribute technological solutions to problems confronted by individuals with disabilities."
Development of technologies and devices to assist individuals with disabilities in regaining function and independence.
"These individuals may have experienced a spinal cord injury, brain trauma, or any other debilitating injury or disease (such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, West Nile, ALS, etc.)."
"Functional areas addressed through rehabilitation engineering may include mobility, communications, hearing, vision, and cognition."
"Activities associated with employment, independent living, education, and integration into the community."
"Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America is the association and certifying organization of professionals within the field of Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology in North America."
"The association defines the role of a Rehabilitation Engineer in the 2017 approved White Paper available online on their website."
"The association also defines the role of a Rehabilitation Technician in the 2017 approved White Paper available online on their website."
"The association defines the role of an Assistive Technologist in the 2017 approved White Paper available online on their website."
"The association differentiates the role of a Rehabilitation Technologist from a Rehabilitation Technician in the 2017 approved White Paper available online on their website."
