...stickers. A woman came up on the buzzer. “Hello?” Shōto searched for a camera to talk to. “My name is Todoroki Shōto. I go to school with Midoriya Izuku.” “Oh, of course!” The woman called for what sounded like her son. “You can come in now, Todoroki. He’ll be right out.” Inside, Midoriya tried tying his own shoes with two broken hands as his mother battled with doing it herself. “Hello,” she said. “It’s so nice to meet you, Todoroki.” “Mom, please,” Midoriya whined. “I got this.” Ignoring Midoriya’s complaints, his mother secured on his shoes and socks, then put on a light coat. Shōto bowed to the small family and gave them space as they worked out Midoriya’s casual outfit. “Don’t overdo it,” Midoriya’s mother warned as they left. “Your arms still need to heal. I don’t know what you’re going to do, but make sure you don’t overdo...

...My best guess of Nursemaid's Elbow is that it was an injury sustained by a nurse while taking care of patients or a home caregiver who may not know proper techniques in moving a patient. Nursemaid's elbow actually is a dislocation of the elbow joint. Nursemaid's elbow is also sometimes referred to as "radial head subluxation" or "pulled elbow". This injury is seen in younger children up to age 6. Nursemaid's elbow can occur in an infant when they roll over onto the or a when a young child uses the hands to brace himself or herself during a fall. Other ways this injury occurs is when an adult catches a child by the hand to prevent a fall, lifts a child up by the hands or wrists, pulls a child's arm through a jacket or shirt sleeve, swings...

...Technology and Health Care 19 (2011) 483–495 DOI 10.3233/THC-2011-0646 IOS Press 483 Rehabilitation Engineering Rehabilitation robotics Marko Munih and Tadej Bajd∗ Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Abstract. The paper presents the background, main achievements and components of rehabilitation robotics in a simple way, using non-technical terms. The introductory part looks at the development of robotic approaches in the rehabilitation of neurological patients and outlines the principles of robotic device interactions with patients. There follows a section on virtual reality in rehabilitation. Hapticity and interaction between robot and human are presented in order to understand the added value of robotics that cannot be exploited in other devices. The importance of passive exercise and active tasks is then discussed using the results of various clinical trials, followed by the place of upper and lower extremity robotic devices in rehabilitation practice. The closing section refers to the general importance of measurements in this area and stresses quantitative measurements as one of the advantages in using robotic devices. Keywords: Robot, haptic interface, virtual reality, measurement 1. Introduction The application of robotic approaches in neurological patient rehabilitation was introduced almost two decades ago [1]. Even though the number of robotic rehabilitation systems is large, the number of clinical trials remains quite...

...Prosthetic Arm We have all heard the cliché “you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone”. For some it can be a materialistic thing as a car or a cellphone. Others are boyfriends or girlfriends that recently broken up. But for some, it can be something much more than that. Something that is more personal to them. To others it can be a limb that was lost from war, an accident, and diseases such as diabetes. We can only imagine on how hard life can be without the use of our hands. Unfortunately it is a brutal reality to others who do live day by day with only one or no arms at all. Prosthetic arms have very limited actions as some don’t bend with just a hook at the end of it. Some of the other more advanced prosthetic arms only bend and move from two places, the elbow and the wrist. With today’s technology increasingly advancing, and with the help of a university professor, the six million dollar man with robotic limbs is not too far from becoming a reality. Professor Michael Goldfarb from University Vanderbilt and his team have developed what looks to be the beginning of new prosthetic arms to be human like and very functional. “The prototype can lift (curl) about 20 to 25 pounds – three to four times more than current commercial arms – and can do so three to four times faster. "That means it has about 10 times as much power as other arms despite the fact that the design hasn’t been optimized yet for strength or power," [Michael Goldfarb] But what makes this arm even more...

...teach for a month in Cambodia. When I come back I will be able to student teach and then graduate. Yes, I am so looking forward to graduation. Deep in my thoughts, I miss hearing the nurse call my name. The little old woman with a little too much perfume on nudges me and points to the door. Grabbing my coat, I whisper thank you before heading for the door. Inside the exam room, a nurse with shoulder length blond hair informs me that she is going to get the three shots and will be right back. A moment later, she returns with three needles and three alcohol swabs. Before administering each shot, she carefully cleans the intended injection site. She engages me in a conversation before she ever so cleverly sticks the needle into my upper arm injecting the serum. Placing a Band-Aid over each spot, she tells me to monitor the sites for possible swelling. I nod as I head out the door. Leaving the parking lot, my phone rings. My mom tells me to come over to my sister’s house and help her finish packing. I arrive at about 5:30 pm. After eating pizza, my sister and I finish packing the upstairs. Lifting a box, I feel an intense sharp pain in my armpit. I ignore the pain and keep on working. At 10:30 pm, we decide to call it a night and finish tomorrow. Driving home, the pain increases with each turn of the steering...

(Use all the authors names the first time and always include the date) set out to improve, and find the accuracy, of the Pediatric Motor Activity Log-Revised (PMAL-R) when compared to other measurements, such as the Motor Activity Log (MAL), used on adults. The MAL has patients rate their ability to perform 30 activities, designed for use of the upper extremities, with the arm that is more affected. The MAL tends to be more accurate because the patient is reporting the usage versus the caregiver that gives the report in the PMAL-R. “. . .four developments have contributed to the generation of methods for assessing activity of an impaired upper extremity in daily life” (p 149). Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) supports the movement of upper limbs to help improve arm use. CIMT has been proven to be more beneficial than compensatory tactics, and patients using CIMT have shown greater brain plasticity (include name and date, p. 149). The researchers here wanted to interview the participants in person rather than via a paper survey. This is the way the test was meant to be...

...The book A Farewell to Arms, written by Ernest Hemingway, is a classic about the love story of a nurse and a war ridden soldier. The story starts as Frederick Henry is serving in the Italian Army. He meets his future love in the hospital that he gets put in for various reasons. I thought that A Farewell to Arms was a good book because of the symbolism, the exciting plot, and the constant moving of the main The symbolism in A Farewell to Arms is very much apparent. Ernest Hemingway has always been one who is big on the symbolism of night as being bad. To the main character in Hemingway's novels, nights have always been a sign of death, or something negative to happen. Another one of the symbolisms in A Farewell to Arms is when Henry tries to escape from the Italian army by jumping off one of the ships the army was traveling on and running away from the army. This symbolism was the water that he jumped into was a symbolism of the new, clean life that he was going to live from now on. At this time, Henry goes off The plot in A Farewell to Arms was always active. They were never staying in one place too long. It had a very good story line, which was a love story that ended up in a tragedy. The main character's wife got pregnant and she was off to have her baby when problems started occurring. They had to have a caesarean, and the baby dies, and when the mother of the child starts to hemorrhage Henry knows...

...The End of AT&T’s Absolute Advantage in iPhone Sales The iPhone is the most sought-after smartphone on the market today. Since 2007, the iPhone is currently available only through AT&T. For years, there have been rumors that other wireless providers, such as Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon Wireless would get the iPhone. In October, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is in the process of producing an iPhone that will be available to Verizon Wireless customers beginning in 2011. With large numbers of customers wanting an iPhone but choosing not to sign with AT&T, competition from other smartphones manufacturers, such as the BlackBerry and Droid, and Apple’s search for new areas of growth, an end to AT&T’s absolute advantage in iPhone sales appears to be on the horizon. For years, AT&T has had an absolute advantage over Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile with the iPhone, thanks to an exclusive contract with Apple, who is expected to sell 40 million iPhones worldwide this year. This absolute advantage has led to AT&T’s growth in recent years, making them one of the largest mobile network providers in the United States, second to Verizon Wireless. This growth, however, has slowed in recent years, as most AT&T customers who wanted the iPhone has bought them. People who have wanted an iPhone, but did not want to sign with AT&T, have purchased their iPhones thru AT&T without a contract, or through secondary markets such as eBay, and...
