Rehabilitation defined as “a set of measures that assist individuals who experience, or are likely to experience, disability to achieve and maintain optimal functioning in interaction with their environments”. A distinction is sometimes made between habilitation, which aims to help those who acquire disabilities congenitally or early in life to develop maximal functioning; and rehabilitation, where those who have experienced a loss in function are assisted to regain maximal functioning. The term “rehabilitation” covers both types of intervention. Although the concept of rehabilitation is broad, not everything to do with disability can be included in the term. Rehabilitation targets improvements in individual functioning, by improving a person’s ability to eat and drink independently. Rehabilitation also includes making changes to the individual’s environment for example, by installing a toilet handrail. But barrier removal initiatives at societal level, such as fitting a ramp to a public building, are not considered rehabilitation. The human sensory and motor (movement) systems are marvelously engineered, both within a given system and integrated across systems. The rehabilitation engineer thus faces a daunting task in trying to design augmentative or replacement systems when one or more of these systems are impaired..........
