title: Rehabilitation engineering in pediatrics.
abstract: Applications of science and technology in the (re)habilitation of children and young adults can have dramatic, positive influences on their lives. Prosthetics, orthotics, mobility, postural support and seating, communication and education are responsibilities of the rehabilitation engineer. A holistic approach in meeting individual needs for technology is essential. The concerted rehabilitation engineering programme at The Hugh MacMillan Rehabilitation Centre supports service programmes with relevant research and development work.
