Research Group Rehabilitation
The Rehabilitation research group’s most important objective is to stimulate the social participation and quality of life of people with a physical disability or chronic illness. The research group has entered into a partnership with Sophia Revalidatie. It conducts research and launches innovative projects related to participation and quality of life. Participation, (adapted) movement & sports and e-rehabilitation are three important and connected lines of research.
In principle, the research group focuses on all rehabilitation target groups, but the ‘participation’ sub-area focuses on children and young people with an acquired brain injury. She is also explicitly involved in devising and carrying out activities.
The research group wants to use research, innovation and knowledge circulation to contribute to targeted improvements and changes in care options and professional training programmes. It draws the attention of higher education students to rehabilitation and has become a regional knowledge and expertise centre with national and international partners.

Binnen het Lectoraat Revalidatie en Technologie zet Bram, docent en teamleider bij CMD, samen met collega’s en studenten kennis en ervaring van gebruikersgerichte ontwerpprocessen in. Binnen verschillende projecten worden wensen en behoeften van gebruikers en andere stakeholders in kaart gebracht. Ideeën en concepten worden middels prototypes uitgeprobeerd en bestaande en potentiële oplossingen worden onderzocht op gebruiksvriendelijkheid. Deze intensieve samenwerking zorgt voor betrokkenheid in meerdere stadia van innovatie en zo kunnen we de producten over de tijd heen zien groeien wat kennis oplevert over ontwerpprocessen binnen het toepassingsdomein van e-revalidatie.
