Topical preparations such as cream and ointments can speed up healing process and prevent further tissue damage.There is also a vast range of equipment that is designed specifically to assist with moving and handling.- Chairs - Wheelchairs - Beds - Shower/Commode Chairs - Sliding Boards - Sliding Sheets - Low Friction Rollers - One Way Slides - Turntables - Hoists and Slings

In addition to providing hands-on patient care, robots can also help lift patients. Some Japanese inventors created the "Robot for Interactive Body Assistance". This robot is used to transport patients weighing up to 134 lbs. to bedsides and wheelchairs using built-in sensors and foam support technology (Dean, 2009). In America researchers have tested robot called a "Nursebot" on elderly patients, this was not very effective. The problems with the "Nursebot" was it’s ability to perform task such as giving patients bath or help change the patients. The "Nursebot" was however able to remind patients when to take medications or help them to move around as to not strain the elderly person.

His caretaker is with him from Monday through Friday. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday he works at a disability center, and he volunteers at a local skating ring. Every Wednesday he completes many of his IADL’s, such as grocery shopping and paying his bills. Tuesdays and Thursdays are his days to engage in leisure activities. He enjoys going to the park and going out to eat. The weekend is dedicated to family bonding and soccer. He spends the entire weekend with his family, and every Saturday he either has a soccer game or practice. A major habit that supports his participation his daily occupations is his automatic response of grabbing the wheelchair controller. This has perfected his ability to maneuver the wheelchair without it hindering his navigation. His occupational roles of being a son, special team’s athlete and teammate, volunteer, and employee help promote independent engagement in occupations.

In 2012, a woman named Tina Baughman filed for a lawsuit against Walt Disney World Company for failing to comply with her condition. Using the Americans with Disabilities Act, Baughman asserts Disneyland denied to offer full and equal access to the theme park (Tina Baughman v. Walt Disney World Company, 2012). Baughman is diagnosed with limb girdle muscular dystrophy, and thus has difficulty with walking (Tina Baughman v. Walt Disney World Company, 2012). Because Baughman has trouble standing from a seated position, she believes using a two-wheeled mobility system called a Segway is necessary. Segways allow Baughman to step into rides and buildings without struggling to stand up from a seated position (Tina Baughman v. Walt Disney World Company, 2012). In addition, the Segway permits Baughman to be eye-level with guests and workers. Walt Disney World Company, the defendant, claims wheelchairs are an adequate mode of transportation (Tina Baughman v. Walt Disney World Company, 2012). Baughman’s discomfort with using a wheelchair is not Disneyland’s concern. The judge ruled in favor

This investigative lab studies the development and movement of robotic devices. The objective of this lab experiment in particular was to create a simplistic version robotic beetle that can move and react in the same manner as the household autonomous robotic vacuum device; the Roomba. Using items one could find within one’s home, the investigator utilized simple materials to create a simplistic autonomous robotic device that would contain the basic features of a Roomba, primarily the feature that implements the ability to essentially avoid objects rather than run straight into them, allowing the robotic device to move about a room with little to no outside

My invention is a wheelchair that has a bag attached to it. When you push the button that is on the armrest, the bag automatically goes from the back of the wheelchair to the front of the wheelchair onto the person’s lap. This is helpful because if you were in a wheelchair and you needed something from your bag instead of carrying your bag on your lap you could just push a button and the bag comes to your lap. I think this would especially help Chava Willig Levy who gets around in a electric wheelchair. If her bag was able to be in the back of her wheelchair and only on her lap when she needed it Mrs.Levy would me much more comfortable. Mrs.Levy had to get around by herself, and with this invention she could make everyday tasks, like going

Looking around our home there are many things that can assist and benefit a service user with multiple conditions and/or disabilities such as walking frames, walking sticks, wheelchairs, bed and chair aids, bath and shower aids and hoisting aids, eating aids, writing aids etc. There are aids for most daily living tasks, to assist with quality of life etc. The manoeuvrable roll with four wheels is a great energy saver. It differs from the walker in that the user does not need to use arm or back muscles to lift it up or set it down. Writing aid, page turner, ball point pen

Despite being well-established, over the last three years, sales at Atherley Furniture Company have remained the same while profits have declined by almost 24%. Their chair division produces three different types of chairs, the Atherley, the Caledonia and the Parkdale. Each model has its own production plan and production costs. The increasing production costs, alongside the intense competition the company faces, have become a great cause of concern for John Atherley.

Bob’s Discount Furniture can be defined in one word, “innovative”. In almost every aspect of their business, Bob’s is setting the standard for the furniture industry. Founded in 1991 in Newington, Connecticut, Bob Kaufman had a dream to build a successful company. This dream stemmed from his own experiences. In 1976, Bob was involved in a motorcycle accident that left one of his legs partially paralyzed. He was sent to bed to recuperate from his injuries, where he then found the benefits of the waterbed in his recovery. This experience inspired Bob to become a waterbed salesman. He sold waterbeds in 24 stores across New England.

If a child has a disability that restricts movement or requires them to use a wheelchair they will find it a lot harder to participate in the same activities as other children. This exclusion means that they will find it more challenging to develop relationships than their peers. If a child requires a wheelchair children may see them as different and may not want to interact with them in the same way they would with others. Consequently, they may find that they are being treated differently to other children. This will therefore harm the child’s social development and lower their self-esteem.

This was an eye-opener for us to advocate for public transportation especially the bus to be modified to accommodate persons with physical disability using a wheelchair. A lift or a ramp could be provided for easy boarding of the bus. Additional space

Electric Wheelchairs being one of the most commonly used piece of equipment. Electric wheelchairs help millions of people across the world that are unable to walk on their own. These chairs help people with Cerebral Palsy by allowing them to control the chair by just using finger tips to move the chair in whatever direction, or speed they want to go. Other equipment involves voice sensors that connect to the chair and can steer any direction the person wants to go. Voice sensors can help in many different ways, they can be used on the computer for someone who uses one regularly, they can just say what needs to be typed if they do not have the

Grommet Industries is facing some very tough business decisions to stabilize the company and restructure to stimulate growth. The HR issues that I am now asked to address in our meeting with Mr. Ramon include identifying the issues we are facing, the options we have to work with, and strategies to use for implementation.

Another obvious physical disability is an individual's confinement to a wheelchair. People who cannot walk under their own power are usually at a great disadvantage. Many times there are no special considerations made for these people. Even some typical expressions demonstrate this lack of compassion, such as "I have to run to the store", or "I'm going for a walk." People in wheelchairs are often considered weak and unable to care for themselves. However, some advances have been made in our society that encourages the independence of these people. Wheelchair ramps, handicap parking, and cuts in the curb of sidewalks are just some of the more obvious changes that have been made to better accommodate these people. But some problems may still occur for people in wheelchairs. Some hallways and doors may not be wide enough for the chair to fit through and when it is icy outside it is very easy to slide if the pavement is not sanded properly.
