既然科学技术使我们的寿命更长，世界人口正在急剧老龄化。在提供与健康有关的服务和确定帮助他们保持独立的方法方面，最年长的人——80岁以上的人——是最大的挑战。美国国立卫生研究院的国家医学康复研究中心研究改善、恢复或替代丧失、不发达或恶化的功能的机制、模式和设备。NCMRR观察技术和老龄化研究与发展的模型包括五个层次的干预（或研究与发展），每个层次侧重于不同的领域。细胞水平关注病理生理，器官水平关注损伤，行动水平关注功能限制，任务-角色水平关注残疾，社会限制水平关注态度和政策造成的障碍。
Now that science and technology have contributed to our living longer, the world's population is aging dramatically. The oldest people - those over age 80 - represent the greatest challenge in providing health-related services and identifying ways to assist them in maintaining independence. The US National Institutes on Health's National Center on medical rehabilitation research studies mechanisms, modalities, and devices that improve, restore, or replace lost, underdeveloped, or deteriorating function. The NCMRR's model for viewing research and development in technology and aging comprises five levels of intervention (or research and development) with each level focusing on a different area. The cellular level focuses on pathophysiology, the organ level on impairment, the action level on functional limitation, the task-role level on disability, and the social-limitations level on barriers resulting from attitudes and policies.
