商品簡介
Cooper (rehabilitation science and technology and bioengineering, U. of Pittsburgh) draws on his own years of experience using mobility aids to speak to biomedical and rehabilitation engineers and graduate students in biomedicine or rehabilitation engineering. He integrates the engineering aspects with considerations of legislation, biomechanics, and building design. Among the topics are wheelchair safety and standards, manual and power wheelchair design, recreational devices, and robotics. Assumes a senior or graduate level knowledge of human anatomy and physiology; some chapters also require the same level of engineering background. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
