Rehabilitation engineering products can be divided into two categories according to the purpose of use: one is the rehabilitation assessment, rehabilitation treatment appliances and equipment, and the other is rehabilitation aids.
Rehabilitation aids and rehabilitation medical devices are both related and different. Compared to the international standards for rehabilitation aids and our medical device catalog, probably less than ten percent of the proportion of rehabilitation aids and medical devices have a cross, mainly focused on orthopedic devices and part of the personal medical aids.
For example: in China's medical device catalog will be speech, visual and auditory cognitive impairment rehabilitation equipment, training devices, walking devices, fixed orthopedic devices, such as more than ninety varieties of medical rehabilitation devices classified as medical devices.
The two have a close connection, but but the two have quite a lot of difference, there are mainly eight aspects of the difference, mainly in the use of the stage, the principle of use, the use of the object, the use of the occasion, the use of the time, the use of the purpose of the use of the policy and the price, profit margins, and so on, there are eight aspects of the difference.
We look at the difference from the perspective of the purpose of use, taking the purpose of use as an example: rehabilitation aids target the dysfunction of the dysfunctional person, apply various measures to reduce the dysfunction of the dysfunctional person's physical, psychological and social dysfunction,
To realize the higher potential of dysfunctional people, improve the quality of life, make them adapt to their surrounding environment, or to adjust their surroundings and social conditions to facilitate their reintegration into society and enable them to integrate into society.
