Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

5.7K
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.

Types of Reports I: Hands-off Report

1.5K
A hand-off report, also known as a change-of-shift report, is a crucial nursing process that ensures the smooth transition of patient care responsibilities between nursing staff.
Following are the key components and categories of hand-off reports:

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:16

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

2.5K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.1K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

The Fossil Record02:56

The Fossil Record

27.1K
The fossil record documents only a small fraction of all organisms that have ever inhabited Earth. Fossilization is a rare process, and most organisms never become fossils. Moreover, the fossil record only exhibits fossils that have been discovered. Nevertheless, sedimentary rock fossils of long-lived, abundant, hard-bodied organisms dominate the fossil record. These fossils offer valuable information, such as an organism's physical form, behavior, and age. Studying the fossil record helps...

Molecular and Ionic Solids02:54

Molecular and Ionic Solids

19.9K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Biomedical Devices
    • Assistive Technology

    Background:

    • Hand functional impairment, often resulting from conditions like stroke, necessitates intensive rehabilitation.
    • Current physiotherapy approaches face limitations due to high costs, insufficient human resources, and patient fatigue, hindering optimal rehabilitation intensity.
    • Effective hand rehabilitation is crucial for restoring activities of daily living (ADL).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a cost-effective soft exosuit designed to support and enhance hand grasping function for rehabilitation purposes.
    • To develop a wearable assistive device that overcomes limitations of traditional therapy and facilitates rehabilitation during ADL.
    • To enable personalized and intensive hand therapy through a user-friendly and adaptable system.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a soft exosuit utilizing tendon-like wires for actuation of four fingers (excluding the little finger).
    • Integration of bidirectional electrical motors for precise control of each finger, enabling various grip types (e.g., power, precision).
    • Implementation of force control for handling delicate objects and a lightweight (435g) wearable design for upper arm placement.

    Main Results:

    • The prototype exosuit demonstrates the capability for diverse gripping actions, including power and precision grips.

    • Force control allows for the safe manipulation of sensitive objects, enhancing functional rehabilitation.
    • The use of readily available, size-adjustable components allows for rapid patient-specific customization.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed soft exosuit offers a viable, cost-effective solution for augmenting hand grasping function in rehabilitation.
    • The device supports patients in performing activities of daily living (ADL) from the early stages of recovery.
    • Its customizable nature and integrated force control make it a promising tool for personalized and intensive hand therapy.
