Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) on Telerehabilitation

The only research center of its kind, we are applying informatics technology to develop an accessible, scalable, cost-effective open, extensible and secure infrastructure to connect service providers, rehabilitation applications and consumers. At the RERC on Telerehabilitation, we investigate the value and effectiveness of rehabilitation services delivered to consumers in their homes, workplaces and communities. The RERC TR aims at extending the reach of rehabilitation systems to meet the needs of people with disabilities through incorporating capacity building projects in areas such as cognitive and vocational rehabilitation and prevention and management of secondary conditions. Our research is funded by NIDRR, Department of Education, Grant #H133E090002.
