Rehabilitation Technology, Strategies for the European Union, Technology and Informatics 9

Author: Jim Sandhu, Ian Mckee, Stuart Carruthers
Abstract: The paper emphasises that not all disabled people need rehabilitation technology but they all need good design. Designers, manufacturers and rehabilitation engineers should make it their priority to undertake evaluative research with end users at all stages of the design process. A user based strategy concerning product evaluation is described in the article. Modells and methods of user involvement are reflected in the paper.
