the aging population is the risk of developing pressure ulcers (PU). PU are any localized sore‚ wound or injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually located over a bony prominence.

Abstract: The experiment was conducted by using frog’s legs to understand how the muscle response to different levels of stimulations‚ and the levels of the twitch is also related to the number of motor units recruited. We used the program LabScribe to collect the data from the graph‚ and we also used the stimulator to stimulate the muscle through computer. We found out when the response reached the threshold and plateau. For the second experiment‚ we increased the Frequency from 0.5 Hz to 1Hz

This chapter will explore more on the design procedure of a prosthetic leg and the calculations that come into play in this procedure. The design will be based on the parameters and function of a normal leg and also on the current available prosthetic legs. In prosthetic leg calculations‚ the main factors to consider are the kinematics‚ kinetics and the energetics. Kinetic quantities are computed by first measuring the external forces acting on the body. For normal walking‚ the external forces are

article discussed three major ways to prevent heel pressure ulcers using pillows‚ a repose boot‚ and a wedge. At the end of the study the device with the most positive feedback and fewest complaints would be used as the heel pressure ulcer prevention device in the acute orthopedic setting at the hospital. Heel pressure ulcers could occur easily due to the bone structure of the heel and patient’s knowledge about how to prevent heel pressure ulcers. The original study was to be implemented only on patients
