Policy of Development on Rehabilitation Engineering, April 30, 2022

National and Institutional Policies of Rehabilitation

Indonesian Government all Indonesian Citizens and Residences as a mandate of the Indonesian Constitution 1945. The protection includes the development of welfare and health which includes physical and mental health, including persons with disabilities (PWD). In particular, the State’s attention to Disabilities is manifested in Act Law No. 8 of 2016 (Undang-Undang No.8 Tahun 2016), which is a reference for government policy in providing protection for people with disabilities. As stated in Article 66-68, national and local governments have obligation to provide and organize medical rehabilitation according to the varieties of the disability. Scopes, Aims, and functions of the habilitation and rehabilitation are described in Article 110-113.

Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has been established a National University in  1960 in order to carry out the function of higher education, especially in the field of technology (Decree RI No. 101250/U.U.). Biomedical Engineering Education has been included in Curriculum of Department of Electrical Engineering since 1984. Establishment of Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department (Decree Ministry of Higher Education No. 102/M/Kp/III/2015)in 2015 has strengthen ITS efforts in developments of engineering, and technology for medicine.

ITS focuses on Rehabilitation as one of the leading fields in biomedical engineering as an excellence program. This is manifested in the form of establishment of Rehabilitation Engineering Major in BME Department ITS, whit support of other Majors including Biomedical Instrumentation, Biomedical Imaging and Image Processing, and Medical Informatics (Curriculum Program, BME Dept ITS 2015-present).

Human resource developments with rehabilitation engineering expertise are supported by the development of an appropriate curriculum and global collaboration. Lecturers and researchers developed their expertise in the field of rehabilitation engineering as ITS policy and supported by global collaboration program (Monbusho Scholarship, ITS-Tohoku Collaboration Program, DSP Tohoku Univ., Miyagi Prefectural Government under the Sendai Advanced Preventive Health Care Services Cluster). Research and Development in Biomedical Engineering Department has been carried out at ITS and in collaboration with Tohoku University of Japan which is leading in the field of Motor Rehabilitation. Followings are developed system and publications related to Rehabilitation Engineering reflects the policy of ITS supporting Technology for Rehabilitation of Person with Disabilities.
