However, patient boredom is a big issue in rehabilitation owing to the extensive practice that is necessary. Awareness of the value of haptic (touch-enabled) interfaces in computer applications has grown because to the emergence of games with buzzing joysticks and consumer electronics with touchpads. Some forms of haptics, however, are paving the way for cutting-edge computer-based rehabilitation solutions, such as “serious games,” which are only one use of haptics’ potential to enhance clinical treatment. In this paper, we aim to review the methods and technologies of haptic feedback that are used for medical treatment and rehabilitation. Developing and innovating better haptic feedback technology has the potential to expand and improve access to virtual healthcare such as the doctor being able to “feel” a patient’s tumor from miles away by being paired with robotic devices.展开更多

Many of these techniques show promise. However,there is much work to be done in order to determine which techniques may be the most effective for cer-tain patients. It is also need to figure out the timing of many of these techniques in order to maximize their benefit. As this last slide shows,stroke survivors need to be "involved with their own rescue." Without their motivation and practice,stroke survivors will never reach their maximal functional capacity. With new techniques and technologies,rehabilitation professionals can provide stroke survivors with the means to intensify their therapies to facilitate functional recovery,reorganize the brain and return them to a fulfilling quality of life.展开更多

Most of the fallout occurred from 1956 through 1965 with maximum deposition rates in 1963—1964. Reiatively little <sup>137</sup>Cs has been deposited since 1970. Cesium-137 is strongly adsorbed within the upper horizons of soil and resists leaching through soil. Since <sup>137</sup>Cs has a half-life of 30 a, it is a good tracer for long-term soil particle movement.展开更多
