A medical aided system for evaluating crura rehabilitation

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the current state of development of medical education with a special attention to the fields of rehabilitation. Changes in internet technology provide opportunities for rehabilitation. In this work, we apply medical resources and e-learning service technologies to construct a medical aided learning system. There is summarized philosophy at preparing the e-learning tool, presented achieved results and pointed out some practical hints that should be considering at development of medicine based e-learning modules. Then the paper describes implement of the e-learning system for crura rehabilitation. Medical resources associated with the components of the learning system are encapsulated as reusable Learning agent. Integrated rehabilitation knowledge is used within rehabilitation of disabled people and interns. An example of evaluation of crura rehabilitation is demonstrated. Finally, the paper indicates sketched challenges and ways of future development of e-learning in the presented fields. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
