ABSTRACT
In every engineering discipline, measurement facilitates the use of structured procedures and decision-making processes. In rehabilitation engineering, the presence of “a human,” the only or major component of the system of interest, has presented a number of unique challenges with regard to measurement. is is especially true with regard to the routine processes of rehabilitation that either do or could incorporate and rely on measurements. is, in part, is due to the complexity of the human system’s architecture, the variety of ways in which it can be adversely aected by disease or injury, and the versatility in the way it can be used to accomplish various tasks of interest to an individual.
