Rehabilitation Engineering Core

Gerald Miller, Ph.D., director

The Rehabilitation Engineering Core involves the design, development and utilization of state-of-the-art human-technology interfaces. These activities build upon existing activities as part of a Whitaker Foundation award in rehabilitation engineering and human-technology interfaces and several Veterans Administration awards in rehabilitation robotics. The key element of this core is the integration of various tools in the operation of assistive technologies, including eye- and head-tracking controls, motion-activated controls, voice-activated controls and related activities. The VCU School of Engineerings Department of Biomedical Engineering, along with the VCU School of Medicines departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Neurosurgery, and Orthopaedics, and the VCU School of Allied Health Professions are prominent collaborators in this core, which has a solid record of extramural grant performance.
