Restorative engineering applies engineering principles and technologies to enhance rehabilitation outcomes by restoring physical function. This interdisciplinary field combines robotics, biomechanics, and medical sciences to support patients in regaining mobility and independence. Devices like exoskeletons and biofeedback systems are used to assist movement and muscle control, especially for patients with spinal cord injuries or severe musculoskeletal damage. The approach involves personalized solutions tailored to each patient’s unique physical challenges, focusing on long-term recovery and quality of life. As technology advances, restorative engineering is redefining traditional rehab processes, making it a key contributor to improving life post-injury.
