example- pacemaker microdialysis project looked at body's response to an implant at the cellular level HELEN (HELp Neuropsychology) contains diagnostic analyses that keep track of specific tests and tasks performed by the stroke patient. involves implainting an electrode within the nervous system, such as on or below the surface of the brain, and spinal cord or the peripheral nerve. Help to communicate with paralyzed muscles through electrical stimulation of the brain Neuromodulation field that helps treat the disorders of the central nervous system including chronic pain. help to stimulate muscles to avoid atrophy and increase range of motion and blood circulation. uses low levels of electricity in order to activate nerves and muscles in order to restore movement Neuromove and biomove300 two devices used for stroke patients. Acceleglove uses sensors that detect hand and finger movement and sends signals to the computer neuroproshesis implantable device using FES. bone grows around implant, which is thus integrated into the body. surgically implanted Osseointegration technology that allows the integration of living bone with titanium implants. will offer first hard wired neural control of bionic body parts BrainGate Neural Interface System system involves implanting a chip to the brain that converts brain cell impulses to computer signals. Modular prosthetic limb (MPL) currently being tested in human beings. made of carbon fiber and gets its power from a rechargable battery eLegs exoskeleton bionic device that helps paraplegics walk. Medicare started covering in 2002 Electronic aids to daily living (EADL) or enviromental control systems (ECS) help physically challenged people control their enviroments Myoelectric limbs artificial limbs containing motors and responding to the electrical signals transmitted by the residual limb to electrodes mounted in the socket-predate computers C-Leg computerized leg, includes prosthetic knee, and shin system controlled by a microprocessor. microprossesor generates speech output and translates binary code into speech screen reader software tells the speech synthesizer what to say, read the text description of an icon head mouse moves the cursor according to user's hand motions puff straws allow people to control mouse with their mouths augmentive communication device that helps a person communicate. promises that you can give computer commands or dictate texts spoken-> digital data page scanners speech synthesizers, and screen reader software, and printed text can be digitized and input and then read aloud by the computer speech synthesizer is computer with a processor, memory, and output device. Large type display, braile keyboards, braille telephone organizer Speech recognition useful for people who do not have use of their hands and visually impaired. American's with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) prohibits discrimination against poeple with disabilites and requires that businesses with more than 15 employees provide "reasonable accomodation" to allow the disabled to perform thier jobs adaptive technology makes it possible for people with disabilites to exercise control over their home and work enviroments text telephones transcribes voice into text for hearing impaired assistive technology encompasses many areas. information in s displayed on inside of glasses EYESI surgical simulator a virtual reality simulator that allows doctors to learn new surgical skills and techniques "in preperation for surgery on human eye". smart glasses attached to small computers that can recognize both people and objects by looking them up in a database. Can examine both eyes in 1 minute without touching eye. This technique can detect glaucoma before any vision loss Heidelbergretinal tomograph (HRT) GDx Access uses an infrared laser to measure the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber Tracey visual function analyzer measures how well you can see by measuring how your eye focuses light. Biomicroscopes used for diagnosis of cataracts corneal topography uses a computer to create an accurate three-dimensional map of the cornea so that the health care professional can see the shape and power of the cornea Heidelbergretinal tomograph (HRT) uses lasers to scan the retina, resulting in a three dimensional description.
