independence and self-care skills. Restorative aides, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech therapists work together to reach the goal of each resident. Another benefit for restoration are assistive devices such as special eating utensils, personal care devices, devices for dressing, and even wheelchairs. Many people in long term care use wheelchairs, but another example for those who can bear weight on their feet and maintain their balance is a gait belt. A gait belt is a…

their intellectual ability and individual performance. Physiognomic readings were ultimately unreliable and discredited Blackford’s assertion that there was a definite correlation between physical features and character. It is the expression and mobility of the individual, not fixed facial features that determine one’s personality. Likewise, Kleege discredits the media’s assumption that blind people are unable to empathize. It is a direct contradiction to Taylorism, which designed the human…

Biomaterials can be described as substances which can be introduced into the body as part of a medical device or replacement for an organ or bodily function. This literature review is based on a study of silicone breast implants and the associated risks. Breast implants have been used for more than 30 years for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery as they have a high biological tolerance. They consist of an outer envelope made up of silicone elastomer, a highly cross-linked silicone which is…

specialization. And also the Canadian government has set up an organization by the name Canadian Physiotherapy Association, which includes over 12,000 physiotherapists, this continuously engaged in providing physiotherapy services to improve health, mobility and fitness of Canadians.

home/office automation devices, cloud infrastructure, etc. The traditional automotive industry is ripe for disruption over the next few years as the sector undergoes rapid transition from existing infotainment systems towards semi-autonomous driver assistance systems, and ultimately, leading to fully driverless technology. This fundamental change calls for a rapid shift in business models of automobile companies from producers and sellers of dumb metal boxes to providers of complete mobility…

Assistive Technology (AT) is technology that assists people of all ages with disabilities to be able to communicate, have mobility, and to help improve physical and mental activities that are difficult to perform on a daily basis. Technology is a great equalizer for individuals with disabilities to have full participation in which may otherwise be difficult to accomplish. Assistive technology in education is a tool/tools used in a classroom to help students have solutions that are accommodating…

thermoelectric system has a pair of n- and p-type semiconductor materials (thermocouple) for obtaining a large thermoelectromotive force. This effect can also be used to determine the temperature or change the temperature of matters. Therefore, thermoelectric devices can act as a good temperature controller. Hence, the direction of heating and cooling is determined by the polarity of the applied thermoelectric voltage. In 1854, Lord Kelvin showed that, for small temperature differences, the…

but with life in general. Culture and living standards greatly impacted all the fundamental aspects of all cultures including laws and how they are enforced, language, art, health care, mobility, education and religion. Technology benefits children with close instructions and monitoring the use of technological devices for the appropriate and approved uses, it is in our everyday lives, there is nothing that can be done to change that. This is the age of technology, it should not be thought of as…

I want to talk about the nurses’ role in the prevention of pressure ulcer, if a patient’s mobility is compromised and pressure areas are not relieved, this can lead to impaired circulation and ulcer formation. Pressure ulcers can happen in less than 12 or 24 hours depending on the patient’s nutritional status and comorbidities. (Reddy et al, 2006). Preventing and treating pressure ulcers requires good nursing interventions and persistent adherence to evidence based practice (EBP) of Turn and…
