Abstract
Computers have not been effectively utilized in rehabilitation engineering for the design of artificial limbs, wheelchairs or other supporting devices. Advances in computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology offer the opportunity for significant improvements in health care delivery. Three software programs are evaluated for health care applications. These programs are part of the software released under a NASA sponsored joint industry/government effort denoted Integrated Programs for Aerospace-Vehicle Design (IPAD) Project for the advancement of CAD/CAM technology. included are: three dimensional graphics, structural analysis and data base management and manipulation. This paper describes a spin off application in rehabilitation engineering.
