Neurorehabilitation technology /
Volker Dietz, Tobias Nef, William Zev Rymer, editors.
- 1 online resource (xix, 496 pages) : illustrations (some color)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: rationale for robot use -- Part I: Basic framework -- Part II: How do we apply technology (robots) for treatment challenges and limitations: a theoretical framework -- Part III: Robots for upper extremity recovery in stroke/spinal cord injury: technological aspects -- Part IV: Robots for upper extremity recovery in stroke/spinal cord injury: clinical applications -- Part V: Robotics for lower extremity (locomotion): technological aspects -- Part VI: Robotics for lower extremity (locomotion): clinical applications -- Part VII: Specifics aspects of neurorehabilitation technology: robots versus passive systems -- Part VIII: Specifics aspects of neurorehabilitation technology: lower extremity robots -- Part IX: Specifics aspects of neurorehabilitation technology: restoration of bladder function after stroke/spinal cord injury -- Epilogue: what lies ahead.
"Neurorehabilitation Technology provides an accessible, practical overview of all the major areas of development and application in the field. The initial chapters provide a clear, concise explanation of the rationale for robot use and the science behind the technology before proceeding to outline a theoretical framework for robotics in neurorehabilitative therapy. Subsequent chapters provide detailed practical information on state-of-the-art clinical applications of robotic devices, including robotics for locomotion; posture and balance and upper extremity recovery in stroke. The text is illustrated throughout with photographs and schematics diagrams which serve to clarify the information for the reader. This book is a valuable resource for neurologists, biomedical engineers, rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists and those training in these fields"--Back cover.
