Computer-aided design (CAD) and related technologies are having a dramatic impact upon manufacturing industry. The advantages of these technologies over traditional methods include improved accuracy and quality, reduced product development time and ease of product modification and hence customization. The resultant increases in productivity, whilst maintaining flexibility of design, have obvious potential in the rehabilitation equipment industry. Recent applications of these technologies to the analysis of prostheses and wheelchairs and to the design and production of sockets for amputees, prosthetic implants and custom seating are reviewed. Computer-Aided Rehabilitation Engineering (CARE) is in its infancy. However, given the rapidity of developments in this field, CARE has the potential to radically alter rehabilitation engineering over the next decade.
计算机辅助设计（CAD）及相关技术正在对制造业产生巨大影响。这些技术相较于传统方法的优势包括提高了精度和质量、缩短了产品开发时间以及便于产品修改从而实现定制。在保持设计灵活性的同时，由此带来的生产率提高在康复设备行业具有明显的潜力。本文综述了这些技术最近在假肢和轮椅分析以及截肢者接受腔、假体植入物和定制座椅的设计与生产方面的应用。计算机辅助康复工程（CARE）尚处于起步阶段。然而，鉴于该领域的发展速度，CARE有望在未来十年从根本上改变康复工程。
