Lecturer(s): Dr Raye Yeow & Dr Yu Haoyong
Assessment: Mini-project, term project and 40% finals
A relatively easy technical elective to take up. It is also pretty fun with the project works and the SPD visits.
The mini-project required us to 3-d print any prosthetic hands from http://enablingthefuture.org/upper-limb-prosthetics/ and making a design modification to improve the prosthesis. This was done in groups of 5-6. Afterwhich, we were required to make a video to highlight the prosthesis's improved feature and its new capabilities. There isn't a report or presentation in this segment so it was really pretty fun and stress free.
The topic choice for the term project was pretty relaxed. In the same groupings of 5-6, we had to pick any area in the field of rehabilitation engineering to research on, evaluate current methods and propose new theoretical changes. This project consisted of a report and a presentation.
Another point worth mentioning are the SPD visits. 3 lectures were held at SG Enable somewhere at lengkok barhu. There, we were exposed to many rehabilitative devices from handheld magnifiers, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices and many forms of wheelchairs - hands on! Imagine a big group of university students sitting on motorized wheelchairs travelling around the campus in a single file.
Scoring in the finals was easy, provided that you had studied properly for this module. The lecturer also dropped hints on what type of questions may appear during the finals, hence please do attend the lectures and note these hints down! They really did appear in the finals.
* A Hint: For the finals, ensure that you pay special attention to the following areas: 1) The various types of psychological deformities and gait deviation conditions 2) All the factors listed in topics: seating and postures and stroke rehabilitation 3) Prof Raye's hints
