Description

Product Description Virtual rehabilitation has been the focus of considerable research for many years, but the recent upsurge in consumer-ready virtual reality hardware and software has led to an increased interest in its use for a variety of clinical and home settings. In order to balance the upsurge in demand for innovative technological healthcare tools, there is need for a credible evidence base for its use and guidance for practitioners on which systems and applications are suitable for different patient populations and rehabilitation goals. This promising branch of healthcare is already being used to benefit many patients in homes and clinics around the world, but it is evident that there is still much more to learn if researchers are to continue to push the boundaries of clinical innovation and excellence. In this book, the authors present recent research addressing a number of these important topics, adding to their understanding of the complex issues and clinical considerations in virtual rehabilitation research and application. About the Author Paul M Sharkey, HDipEE, BSc(Eng), MA, PhD, FIET, MISVR, CEng, is professor of cybernetics, member of the Cybernetics Research Group and Director of the Visualization and Interactive Technologies Centre at the School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading, Reading, United Kingdom. Professor Sharkey's research interests lie in the fields of robotics, control systems, active vision and virtual reality, particularly in the overlapping areas within these fields relating to systems architecture and systems where delays are an inherent part of the closed loop. In 1996 he founded, and remains the Programme Chair for, the International Conference Series on Disability, Virtual Reality and Associated Technologies, a biennial conference that brings together psychologists, physical and occupational therapists, clinicians, engineers and computer scientists to further understanding in the multi-disciplinary area in the field of rehabilitation and disability. He was also a founding member and is a current member of the Board of Directors for the International Society for Virtual Rehabilitation. In 2010, he was elected a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
