This presentation aims at providing information about the various concepts involved in bestowing rehabilitation to the individuals having sensory disabilities.
Rheology is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in a liquid state, but also as "soft solids" or solids under conditions in which they respond with the plastic flow rather than deforming elastically in response to an applied force. Rheology is the science of deformation and flows within a material.
The rehabilitation team conventionally includes the physiatrist, rehabilitation nurse, physical and occupational therapist, speech pathologist, rehabilitation psychologist, and social worker or case manager, with availability of other services such as nutrition and respiratory therapy.
Any rehabilitation team is comprised of different types of specialists who deal with the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the patient. Find here a description of a few of them along with their responsibilities.

Communication among blind, deaf and dumb PeopleIJAEMSJORNAL
Now-a-days Science and Technology have made the human world so easy but still some physically and visually challenged people suffer from communication with others. In this project, we are going to propose a new system prototype called communication among Blind, deaf and dumb people .This will helps the disabled people to overcome their difficulties in communicating with some other people with disabilities or normal people. The blind people will communicate through the speakers, the deaf and dumb people will see through it and reply through typing in a terminal .These are all done as an application , so that will be easily understand by the people with disabilities.
In recent years, unspoken words recognition has
received substantial attention from both the scientific research
communities and the society of multimedia information access
networks. Major advancements and wide range of applications
in aids for the speech handicapped, speech pathology research,
telecom privacy issues, cursor based text to speech, firefighters
wearing pressurized suits with self contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA), astronauts performing operations in
pressurized gear, as a part of communication system operating
in high background noise have propelled words recognition
technology into the spotlight. Though early words recognition
techniques used simple maximum likelihood algorithms only
but the recognition process has now graduated into a science
of mathematical representations and comparison processes.
This survey paper provides an up-to-date review of the existing
approaches and offers some insights into the study of unspoken
words recognition. A number of typical techniques and EMG
based approaches are discussed in this paper. Furthermore, a
discussion outlining the incentives for using recognition
techniques, the applications of this technology, and some of
the difficulties plaguing the current systems with regard to
this topic have also been provided.

Brain Computer Interface Next Generation of Human Computer InteractionSaurabh Giratkar
In the area of HCI research the main focus is on defining new ways of human interaction with computer system. With the passes of time a number of inventions have been made in this field. In initial days we used only keyboards to access our computer system (e.g. in Unix Terminal). In Second phase, after invention of mouse and other pointing devices, we started using graphical user interface using pointing devices like mouse which make the use of computer more easy and comfortable. Nowadays we are using pressure-driven mechanism, i.e. touch screen, which is common at ATMs, Mobile phones and PDAs etc. Although it is not as common in daily works but the release of tablet PCs and its popularity shows that the day is not much far when we wouldn’t be having keyboards and mouse at all.
All of these inventions have been made for balancing the requirements of society and user. E.g. Games, Multimedia Applications etc are not possible using only-Keyboard so we need mouse driven system for such applications, similarly we cannot have large keyboard on mobile so we need a touch screen system for mobiles. In addition to these traditional HCI models, there are some more advance HCI technology too for adding more flexibility and hence making the product more useful. E.g. swap card system at office doors for attendance and ATM-swap card for shopping. Speech processing systems are also there where we can access our computer system using our speech. Fig 1 shows most popular traditional HCI system.

2. INTRODUCTION
Rehabilitation engineering is the “application of
science and technology to ameliorate the
handicaps of individuals with disabilities”.
Rehabilitation is the (re)integration of an
individual with a disability into society.
4. SENSORY REHABILITATION
It is the rehabilitation which is done to restore the
functions of five traditional senses either through
augmentation or via sensory substitution systems.
6. A wheelchair is a prime example of a prosthesis
that can restore personal mobility to those who
cannot walk.
Loss of a limb can greatly impair functional
activity. Artificial or prosthetic limb is another
option for Motor rehabilitation.
7.
8. Of the five senses, vision and hearing most define
the interactions that permit us to be human.
These two senses are the main input channel
through which data with high information content
can flow.
A loss of one or the other of these senses(or both)
can have a devastating impact on the individual
affected.
9. SENSORY REHABILITATION OF THE
VISUAL SYSTEM
LOSS OF VISION MAY BE DUE TO :
Damage in the sensor i.e. the retina
Communication channel (optic nerve and all of its relays to the brain)
may be damaged
Occipital part of the cerebral cortex for initial processing may be
damaged
Damage in Parietal and other cortical areas for information processing
10. METHODS OF REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE
SYSTEM
One must determine where the visual system has failed and
whether a stage of the system can be artificially bypassed
If one uses another sensory modality (e.g. touch or hearing) as
an alternate input channel,
one must determine whether there is sufficient bandwidth in
that channel and whether the higher-order processing hierarchy
is plastic enough to process information coming via a different
route
11. In order to improve the processing in the parietal and temporal
parts of the cerebral cortex, we can employ a method called the
development of Braille.
Braille condenses all text characters to a raised matrix of 2 by 3
dots(2^6 combinations).
Trained readers of Braille can read over 250 words per minute of
grade2 Braille.
Thus, the Braille code is in essence a rehabilitation engineering
concept where an alternate sensory channel is used as a substitute
and where a recoding scheme has been employed.
12. SENSORY REHABILITATION OF THE
AUDITORY SYSTEM
Deafness is another manifestation of a loss of a communication channel, this
time for the sense of hearing .
Totally deaf individuals use vision as a substitute input channel when
communicating via sign language
Hearing aids can also be used which filter out background noise and amplify
the speech signal using signal processing techniques.
Cochlear implant is also an option if deafness is brought about by damage to
the cochlea.
13. FUTURE OF SENSORY REHABILITATION
Neural networks, micro fabrication , fuzzy logic, virtual reality, image
processing and other emerging electrical and computer engineering
tools are increasingly being applied.
Mechanical engineering principles are used in biomechanical studies,
gait and motion analysis, prosthetic fitting, seat cushion and back
support design, and the design of artificial joints.
Materials and metallurgical engineers provide input on newer
biocompatible materials.
Industrial engineers are increasingly studying rehabilitative
ergonomics.
