The Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on the engineering aspects and their practical applications of rehabilitation and assistive technologies. It covers engineering design, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering devices, smart materials, robotics, neuroelectrical engineering and biomedical engineering. Applications of rehabilitation and assistive technologies in clinical settings are preferred.
The aim of the journal is to publish peer-reviewed work in areas of spinal cord and neuromuscular injury rehabilitation, incontinence technology, blast injury rehabilitation, neurorehabilitation, functional rehabilitation, age-related rehabilitation and technologies promoting independent living, and any area where the application of engineering technology can be applied to enhance quality of life for persons living with disability.
The journal is a vital contribution to the area of rehabilitation engineering and aimed at practitioners, clinicians, engineers, project managers, and people with lived experience of disabilities.
The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Neuroelectrical technology for therapeutic or supportive processes.
- Mechanical devices used in therapeutic or supportive processes.
- Electrical devices and sensors used in therapeutic or supportive processes.
- Smart materials and sensors used in assistive technology.
- Robotics for rehabilitation and daily activities of living in the community.
- Active Orthotics.
- Mobility aids such as hoists, lifts, ramps, walkers and wheelchairs.
- Age-Related Rehabilitation Engineering.
- Advanced and/or cost-effective prosthetics for real-world use
- Articles demonstrating end-user involvement are particularly encouraged.
