Abstract
This chapter introduces rehabilitation technologies, with particular focus on electrical stimulation and robotic therapy. The role of control systems is then summarized, together with the current state of the art. Open problems are discussed and the need for more advanced, model-based, design is then motivated. The chapter concludes by outlining the contents of the book.
