Rehabilitation Engineering Lab
Innovation Knows No Bounds
The Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory
(REL), established by
Prof. Milos R. Popovic in July of 2001, is a facility devoted to the advancement of knowledge, education and technology in the field of rehabilitation engineering. Located at the
Kite Research Institute, the REL seeks to advance the science of recovery for people who experience motor impairment due to trauma or disease, and to apply that learning to the design of rehabilitative and regenerative technologies. The REL supports
multiple research groups, and is home to a large group of talented, passionate and dedicated individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds who come together to advance scientific knowledge and state of the art technologies in the field of rehabilitation medicine. The current director of the REL is
Prof. José Zariffa.
