Because stealing was unlawful, people didn't have to be worried about all of their stuff being stolen. If honesty wasn't prohibited, lots of people would be lying and the society they had been living in would be a more questionable place of uncertainty. Since adultery was unaccepted in their society, people wouldn't have to be worried about getting sexually transmitted diseases, and wouldn't lose their spouse's trust. Respect was another great thing that shaped up the Babylonian society, and it…

Orthosis for Radial Nerve Palsy Clients, who sustain damage to the radial nerve experience a significant loss in functional use of the hand. Radial nerve is the most commonly injured nerve of the upper extremity. Orthotic fabrication for an individual with radial nerve palsy requires a balance between protecting the skin while trying to provide increased function for the extremity. Radial nerve palsy depends a lot on where the nerve is damaged. Description of the radial nerve palsy…

In his novel, Machine Man, Max Barry creates a dystopian society within a science laboratory complex, Better Future. Brilliant ideas involving technical advances and future high-quality technologies will arise from the science district. Now, for most people, developing technologies to improve the quality of daily life is not morally wrong; however, when developing technologies sail too far to the point where the technology will compel people to create and alter themselves into “biologically and…

modernized. Prosthetics also significantly help amputees, making them a necessity for those who need support, according to professionals in the field. Prosthetics are created from plastic and usually have small sensors to track electrical nerves within a limb, but with developed technology, prosthetics can do so much more. Prosthetics have developed to detect certain signals, and in order to prepare an individual for prosthetics, stimulations are used. Stimulation signals get sent to the three…

ligaments and tendons located in the lower limb contralateral to the injured leg which is bearing excessive weight. This technique is similar to the previous minus the use for underlying wound dressing, inner conforming gauze layer, the wide adhesive elastic tape or tape around the top and bottom. When using a splint, the materials are very different. A splint is a rigid material that’s added to a limb to reinforced immobilization of a particular part of a limb. These material consist of;…

appear from accidents in the workplace to war zones on a battlefield. Veterans lose limbs during duty, and many biomedical engineers study and attempt to find a proper solution for the veterans. One of the solutions is an orthopedic limb and artificial extension of a body’s lost limb. Even though the artificial limbs are not as close to the real limb, if hospitals and families encourage veterans to obtain an orthopedic limb, then the veterans will get a longer life. Veterans already risk an…

eye has been a matter of great gravity in the medical history, which has led to significant efforts in the direction of developing artificial eye to help the battling patients. It has been documented that Egyptians were the first one to wear artificial eye outside the socket as painted clay attached to the cloth.3 It was in sixteenth century that first in-socket artificial eyes were crafted out of gold and then later in glass by the Venetians. But it was not until World War II that acrylic…

Ball Tossing Game M.B. will play a modified ball toss game to improve her dynamic sitting balance. The light in the room will be dimmed and soft, relaxing music will be played in the background. M.B including the occupational therapist will sit at a chair. A therapy ball will be used to facilitate this game. Prior to starting the activity, the therapist will explain the process of the activity. The therapist will use her right hand to hold the ball on her right side and ask M.B. to use her left…

Functional training and Functional control are two interventions that promote the performance of people suffering from everyday Impairments and functional limitations. Training in functional movements can improve posture and help functional control in daily activities that require mobility, stability for self-care. ADL training is very important for dressing, caring for injured body parts and overall health. IADL are important as well for more complex activities such as going to the grocery…

Introduction Functional electrical stimulation (FES) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an therapeutic technique by which small electrical impulses are applied to a paralyzed or spastic muscle in order to induce contraction and thereby improve its function. Traditionally, NMES refers to those stimulatory protocols directed at increasing strength and FES with function. FES can stimulate muscle contraction for exercise, bladder management, grasping, standing, and walking, among…
