Product Description
Review
“This text is a resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in computer science, rehabilitation science, and clinical engineering.” (IEEE Microwave Magazine, June 2009)
"This handbook contains 49 papers, each approximately 20 pages in length. The eight–part volume covers introductory papers and policies, user needs and assistive technology, man–machine interaction, robot aids, user mobility, smart environmental technology, smart infrastructural applications, and standards and guidelines in design. Taken as a whole, the work offers a good introduction and survey of the needs and available technological remediation for the elderly and the disabled. The back cover of the volume includes the following statement: "This book is an indispensable resource for researchers and professionals in computer science, rehabilitation science, and clinical engineering. It also serves as a valuable textbook for graduate students in the aforementioned fields." However, this book is too much of a hodge–podge to be used for academic course work, and it lacks the content to be of much use to researchers and professionals in computer science. Summing Up: Recommended. Medical libraries serving professionals and practitioners." – A. M. Strauss, Vanderbilt University (CHOICE, March 2009)
