Academic Press Advances in Technology-Assisted Neurorehabilitation

Product Description Technology-Assisted Neurorehabilitation introduces biomedical engineers, health professionals and researchers to the study and integration of neurorehabilitation advances, specifically focusing on applied technologies and mathematical methods. Coverage includes neuroanatomy and neuromodulation, robotic rehabilitation devices, signal processing, human-machine interfaces, software development, serious games and virtual reality. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, including real world applications and new trends. Both medical and technological fields are represented, with a focus on neurological disease. With the computerization of today's therapeutic technology, this book is a valuable asset to any student in the bioengineering or healthcare fields. Review Covers the principles of neuroanatomy, biomechanics, signal processing and technology that are necessary to understand neurorehabilitation and neuroengineering About the Author NATALIA M. LOPEZ received Biomedical Engineering., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Control Engineering from Universidad Nacional de San Juan (UNSJ) in 2001, 2007 and 2010, respectively. In 2003 she joined the Medical Technology Department UNSJ, where she is currently a Professor and Researcher from the CONICET (National Council of Scientific Technical Research) . Much of her work is focused on biomedical signal processing, especially electromyographic signals, assistive devices, and the application of robotics in stroke and upper limb rehabilitation. Professor Lopez is the author of over 80 refereed publications, between journals
