Abstract:
Recent advances in commercial home automation, or Smart Home, technology may augment adaptive living. Although these interconnected devices were not designed specifically for individuals with disabilities, they may increase independence with tasks in the home, such as adjusting the temperature or lighting, cleaning, and maintaining home security. As these integrated systems continue to advance in capability and availability, the potential for adaptive application continues to grow. This article highlights categories of currently available consumer devices with potential for application to adaptive living, and outlines the ways in which these novel devices might augment more traditional approaches to maximizing function.

Connective Tissue Proper
Connective tissue proper is the most abundant class of connective tissues. As its name implies, it predominantly connects different tissues in the body. Depending on the cell types, ground substance, viscosity, and fiber types in the ECM, connective tissue proper is further categorized into loose and dense....
