Abstract
Reverse engineering is relatively novel technology, which may revolutionize clinical practice in rehabilitation. This technology may constitute next step toward patient-tailored therapy, providing customized medical products increasing effectivity and accessibility of rehabilitation procedures and decreasing cost of manufacturing and time of delivery. Such opportunities need separate research, assessment of associated threats, and dedicated solutions. This article aims at investigating the extent to which the available opportunities in the area of application of reverse engineering in rehabilitation are being exploited, including own concepts, studies and observations.
