Magnetic splint for object retrieval.
نویسنده
چکیده
The magnetic splint and complementary adapted objects allow patients with high-level spinal cord injuries independence in retrieving commonly used objects. This device has proved effective for patients with high-level spinal cord injuries who are not presently using an assistive splint and who are capable of bringing the hand to the mouth, often with the assistance of a mobile arm support or overhead sling.

Operating Room Time Savings with the Use of Splint Packs: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: The most expensive variable in the operating room (OR) is time. Lean Process Management is being used in the medical field to improve efficiency in the OR. Streamlining individual processes within the OR is crucial to a comprehensive time saving and cost-cutting health care strategy. At our institution, one hour of OR time costs approximately $500, exclusive of supply and personnel...

متن کاملChanges in cortical activation in craniomandibular disorders during splint therapy - a single subject fMRI study.
There is some controversial discussion within the therapy of craniomandibular disorders (CMDs) about the mode of action of occlusal splints. Here we present a case report on one CMD-patient measuring cerebral activation changes with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before and after therapy with a stabilization splint. Wearing the Michigan splint for 11 nights and partially days resu...
متن کاملDifference in cortical activation during use of volar and dorsal hand splints: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study
There have been no studies reported on the difference in cortical activation during use of volar and dorsal hand splints. We attempted to investigate the difference in cortical activation in the somatosensory cortical area during use of volar and dorsal hand splints by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We recruited eight healthy volunteers. fMRI was performed while subjects who were...
متن کاملShoulder muscle activity increases with wrist splint use during a simulated upper-extremity work task.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that wearing a wrist splint while performing a common light manufacturing task (moving an object from a bin) increases shoulder muscle activity. METHODS Electromyography (EMG) signals were evaluated from the anterior, middle, and posterior deltoid, trapezius, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus of 14 volunteers while they moved an ob...
