title: Virtual Reality: The New Era of Rehabilitation Engineering [From the Regional Editor].
abstract: Rehabilitation engineering refers to the development and application of techniques, devices, and protocols for restoring function following disability. Although in most cases the concept relates to motor functions (e.g., training after a stroke or the use of limb prosthetics), mental rehabilitation engineering is also an emerging area.
