Design of Intelligent Rehabilitation Modalities with Body Sensor and Actuator Networks (BSANs)

Following the promotion of living quality and the implementation of the national health insurance program in Taiwan, the demand of research and development for localized medical modalities has become critical. With corporation with Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, the Medical Mechatronics Research Laboratory (MMRL) in Chang Gung University has been dedicated itself to the development of pivotal technologies for medical mechatronics systems in rehabilitation and perform clinical evaluation of newly developed modalities. In this paper, part of the intelligent rehabilitation modalities developed in Chang Gung University ( Taiwan) using body sensor / actuator network technologies was reported.
