Rehabilitative Engineering

Rehabilitative engineering is a field focused on developing technologies and devices to help individuals with disabilities regain or improve their physical, sensory, or cognitive functions. It combines engineering principles with medical knowledge to create solutions like prosthetics, wheelchairs, communication aids, and adaptive tools. The goal is to enhance independence, safety, and quality of life for users by customizing interventions that address their specific needs. Rehabilitative engineering often involves collaboration among engineers, healthcare professionals, and patients to design innovative, effective, and accessible assistive technologies.
