Rehabilitation R and D Progress Reports, 1989

摘要

The annual publication is a compilation of reports describing ongoing work in rehabilitation research and engineering activity, with updated material maintained on the VA Rehabilitation Database. Principal investigators submit progress reports, indicating names of sponsoring organizations and funding rehabilitation programs. The reports are statements on the current status of their work: purpose, progress, methodology, preliminary and final results, future plans/implications. The investigators may also include publications, patents and awards that have resulted from the research. The reports are not refereed and are solely the statements of the investigators. Reports are arranged by subject categories, e.g. upper limb, cancer, orthotics, joint replacement, spinal cord injury, etc., and cross-referenced to other subject areas of relevance to their topic. The publication can assist the user in a variety of ways: research planning, support of clinical practice, and provision of information to individuals with disabilities.
