Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.4K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Encoding01:19

Encoding

863
Information enters the brain through encoding, which is the input of information into the memory system. Once sensory information is received from the environment, the brain labels or codes it. The information is then organized with similar information and connected to existing concepts. Encoding occurs through automatic processing and effortful processing.
Automatic processing involves the encoding of details like time, space, frequency, and the meaning of words, usually done without conscious...

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.7K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

6.0K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Upper-limb amputees can regain hand function with myoelectric prostheses.
  • Lack of tactile feedback limits the dexterity of current bionic hands.
  • Restoring sensory feedback is crucial for intuitive prosthetic control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for conveying tactile feedback to amputees using their residual nerves.
  • To create a model that translates physical stimuli into neural signals.
  • To enhance the integration of sensory information for improved prosthetic hand control.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a parsimonious model mapping object interaction stimuli (indentation depth, rate, acceleration) to neural responses.
  • Used electrical stimulation of residual somatosensory nerves to convey tactile information.
  • Mimicked aggregate activity of natural tactile fibers.

Main Results:

  • The model accurately reconstructs aggregate afferent neural responses to various stimuli.
  • Demonstrated the ability to mimic natural tactile fiber activity during object interaction.
  • Validated the model's effectiveness across diverse stimuli, including daily activities.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed tactile feedback model can be implemented with peripheral nerve interfaces.
  • This approach has the potential to significantly improve prosthetic hand dexterity.
  • Sensory substitution through artificial touch offers a promising avenue for restoring natural hand function.
