Modeling Rehabilitative Biosystems

Catalog description

Introduction to large-scale mathematical models of various physiological systems of interest in rehabilitation (e.g., cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, etc.). Discusses mathematical modeling, a widely used tool for testing hypotheses regarding the underlying mechanisms of complex systems such as physiological systems in health, disease and recovery. For each, simulation is used to further our understanding of the adaptive processes of these systems in response to physiological/pathophysiological stresses and rehabilitative interventions.
