limb pain (PLP) and propose an alternate form of treatment for PLP using prosthetic limbs. We will discuss two key ways in which prosthetics can be improved—through the use of 3D printed materials and the integration of electrical input and feedback systems—and refitted as PLP treatment. We will also describe the practical advantages of using prosthetics as a form of medical treatment and provide criticism of currently used treatment methods, such as mirror therapy and virtual reality (VR)…

Open System Theory in Nursing Service Delivery Health care must always be aware of government regulators, in the context of its position within the larger environment of a national health care system (Meyer & O’Brian-Pallas, 2010, p. 2830). Each system is a set of components working together to accomplish as specified goal or vision (Marquis & Hutson, 2012, p. 40). The system theory combined with the nursing service delivery theory bases the linking of nursing activities, staffing, environments,…

Systems theory is a relatively new concept developed in the 20th century. Originally meant to apply understanding to physical systems today it is now being used to understand biological and social systems (Minuchin, 1985). Adopted by social workers in the 1970’s the system perspective remains influential and in particular when dealing with families. Family systems theory is broken into 3 domains. First, change in one component will effect all other components. Second, family systems are made…

nerve cells, to pass along information. Normal body function indicates that as the extremity (upper or lower extremity) receives a stimulus, an electrical impulse is sent through the appropriate nerves within the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system via the spinal cord, and up to the brain to be processed. Depending on pain or other…

This paper will provide an overview of the history and theory of systems applied to organizational learning. There will be a discussion on the background theoretical material highlighting specific strategies for applying organizational learning principles addressing the legal and ethical aspects of FTCC; thus it will include the organizational dynamics of FTCC. A description of the way Senge’s application of systems thinking in schools symbolizes the principles of action science will be examined…

analyzed to determine the client’s emotional and mental state. One of Eloise weakness is the fact that she is in a state of hopelessness. There could be many contributing factors that are causing her to feel this way. One of her strengths is the support system she has with her family. Eloise’s depressive state of mind prevented her from caring for her children. Her partner and sister…

The nervous system is broken down into two major systems: Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System. We’ll discuss the Central Nervous System first. The Central Nervous System consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The Cerebral Cortex, which is involved in a variety of higher cognitive, emotional, sensory, and motor functions is more developed in humans than any other animal. It is what we see when we picture a human brain, the gray matter with a multitude of folds covering the…

CAS to operate most effectively it must operate in a space where creativity is not stifled by an over exercised level of control yet the system is not allowed to destructure and descend into chaos (Aydinoglu, 2010; Kim & Mackey, 2014; Marchi et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2015). The space a CAS best operates is often termed the edge of chaos and requires a system that is highly adaptive to maintain this position (Aydinoglu, 2010; Kim & Mackey, 2014; Marchi et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2015).…

contains different parts like the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, somatic nervous system, autonomic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system, and parasympathetic nervous system. The central nervous system is the largest part of the nervous system, it includes the spinal cord and the brain. Peripheral nervous system is the nervous system that serves the limbs and organs. Somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral system that picks up stimuli from the outside…

The brain has two important motor pathways. These pathways are the motor cortex and the somatosensory cotex (Carlson & Birkett, 2017). The motor cortex of the brain is made up of the outer grey matter. Each side of the cortex has areas that represent particular regions of our body. Signals from these areas will travel to the particular areas of the body to preform specific movements. The thalamus is a structure that is very important in movement, as it is the relay station. The motor…
