E-grāmata: Neurorehabilitation Technology

Thisrevised, updated second edition provides an accessible, practical overview ofmajor areas of technical development and clinical application in the field ofneurorehabilitation movement therapy. The initial section provides a rationalefor technology application in movement therapy by summarizing recent findingsin neuroplasticity and motor learning. The following section thenexplains the state of the art in human-machine interaction requirements forclinical rehabilitation practice. Subsequent sections describe the ongoingrevolution in robotic therapy for upper extremity movement and for walking, andthen describe other emerging technologies including electrical stimulation,virtual reality, wearable sensors, and brain-computer interfaces. The promisesand limitations of these technologies in neurorehabilitation are discussed.Throughout the book the chapters provide detailed practical information onstate-of-the-art clinical applications of these devices following stroke,

spinal cord injury, and other neurologic disorders. The text is illustratedthroughout with photographs and schematic diagrams which serve to clarify theinformation for the reader.NeurorehabilitationTechnology, Second Edition is a valuableresource for neurologists, biomedical engineers, roboticists, rehabilitationspecialists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and those training inthese fields.
