Abstract:
The concern for aging, chronic illness, and dependence is relevant in today's society. The Nursing discipline is responsible for its approach to care. Furthermore, this profession must develop technologies to assist. The main objective is the development of a robotic system for assessment of fall risk and adherence to pharmacological treatment. The magnitude of this prototype design and its validation by experts warrant the attention to support care for the vulnerable and fragile with technology.

Spasmolytic Agents: Chemical Classification
A major class of centrally acting spasmolytics is the α2-agonist, such as tizanidine. These drugs bind to α2-adrenoceptors, inhibiting the release of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. They also...
