Institute and Center

Institute of Rehabilitation Engineering and Technology belongs to School of Medical Instrument and Food Engineering, which is a special and dominant discipline of USST. School of Medical Instrument and Food Engineering is the first independent set specialized school on medical instrument with long history. There are one doctor station of biomedical engineering and one Post-doctoral station in the school. The major of rehabilitation engineering belongs to the school is one of bases of personnel training for undergraduate students on rehabilitation.
The discipline direction of rehabilitation engineering in USST develop rapidly recently. Nowadays, we have the first provincial-level engineering research center relies on universities in China named Shanghai Engineering Research Center of Assistive Devices (SERCAD). We also construct the Key Laboratory of Neural-functional Information and Rehabilitation Engineering of the Ministry of Civil Affairs together with the other research instruments and universities. There are a series of outstanding achievements on rehabilitation engineering personnel training, scientific research and social services that ensure our platform become one of the largest high-level research bases of rehabilitation in China. In addition, USST has become a supporting institution for academic organizations in the field of rehabilitation, which including Committee of Rehabilitation Engineering of Shanghai Society of Biomedical Engineering, Specialty Committee of Rehabilitation Devices of China, and Committee of Rehabilitation Robotics of SIAER. Meanwhile, USST is also the vice chairman Unit of specialty Committee of Rehabilitation Devices of Chinese Society of Biomedical Engineering. In December, 2017, USST, as an affiliated unit, established the largest academic organization of industry-university-research medicine of rehabilitation engineering in China -- the special committee for technical transformation and industrial promotion of China rehabilitation medical association. Currently, it is the current chairman unit of the Asian rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology alliance.
