Abstract:
The article substantiates some features of realization of physical rehabilitation activity in Ukraine, defines the main components of physical rehabilitation, as well as the main directions of its development in Ukraine. The urgency of the problem is caused by the fact that in Ukraine, the development of physical rehabilitation requires greater improvement and development, involvement of leading scientists and specialists. At the present stage, physical rehabilitation is a topical issue in Ukraine. Currently, there is a tendency to use inefficient physical rehabilitation means and methods, as this type of rehabilitation is a relatively new industry in Ukraine, which is in its infancy. That is why qualitatively new professional training of specialists in physical rehabilitation and improvement of the current system for its implementation is needed. By our definition, comprehensive rehabilitation is a complex multifactorial process that involves various, closely related and complementary types, among which are medical, physical, psychological, social, professional, economic, pedagogical, sports, household, technical, wellness and legal rehabilitation. Physiotherapy - a component of physical rehabilitation, which studies the physiological and therapeutic effect of natural and preformed physical factors, develops methods of their preventive, therapeutic, rehabilitative and restorative use and carries out their practical application. Іn the scientific literature on the outlined problem there is also the following interpretation of the phenomenon of physical rehabilitation: "application for therapeutic and prophylactic purpose of physical exercises and natural factors in the complex process of restoration of health, physical condition and working capacity of patients". Physical rehabilitation has a leading place in a comprehensive rehabilitation system. It aims at restoring the physical performance of patients and includes all questions about the use of physical factors in the rehabilitation process, as well as provides for the study of the body's response to their use.

Abstract:
Degenerative changes of the spine are a common disease and represent a serious medical-social problem, requiring a complex program for treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. Nowadays life and immobilization create favorable prerequisites for the spreading of disease. The cervical region of the spine is subjected to significant dynamic and static loads, which often leads to pain and limited mobility. Improper posture, continuous static tension, muscular hypertonia and functional blockages in the cervical region provoke psychosommatic discomfort, stiffness, headaches and reduced capacity to work. An essential place in the treatment of osteoarthrosis occupy physical and rehabilitative means. Very good results are obtained from the recreated physical methods, kinesitherapy, extension, manual therapy, massage and natural factors combined with training of the patient. The purpose of this publication is to present an algorithm of a complex program for physical treatment and rehabilitation of cervicoarthrosis, as well as preventive measures and ergonomic control in a sitting working posture. Improving and maintaining the functional state of patients with spondyloarthroasis is essential for their quality of life.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT IMPACT: Being explicit about the prevention of falls throughout an older adults’ episode of care may further help reinforce the role of physical therapy providers in falls prevention and improve dissemination of this knowledge. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this study was to determine older adults’ awareness of and perspectives about the role of physical therapy providers for falls prevention and determine potential barriers and facilitators to utilization of preventive rehabilitation services METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We used a qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach to emphasize participants’ perceptions and lived experiences. Four focus groups were conducted with 27 community-dwelling older adults (average age = 78 years). Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, condensed, and coded using thematic analysis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Surveys indicated 37% of participants experienced a fall in the last year and 26% reported suffering an injury. Four main themes and six subthemes surrounding older adults’ perceptions of physical therapy providers’ roles for falls prevention emerged: (1) Awareness of Falls Prevention (subthemes: I Don’t Think About It, I Am More Careful); (2) Being Able to Get Up from the Floor; (3) Limited Knowledge about the Role of Physical Therapy Providers in Falls Prevention (subtheme: Physical Therapy Services are for After a Fall, Surgery, or for a Specific Problem); and 4). Barriers to Participating in Preventive Physical Therapy Services (subthemes: Perceived Need and Costs, Access Requires a Doctor’s Prescription). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Older adults lack awareness about the role of physical therapy services in falls prevention, perceiving services are only to treat a specific problem or after a fall. Physical therapists should be explicit about the role of physical therapy in falls prevention for all older adults undergoing rehabilitation, regardless of the reason.

Abstract:
Dancers frequently experience lower-extremity injuries which require dance activity restriction, if not full “time off” and/or surgery. Recovering dancers are frequently over-eager to return to dance, but engaging in too high an activity level too soon can be detrimental. Currently, there are no formal guidelines for general physicians about advising injured or postoperative dancer-patients about when or how to return to dance activity. Socioeconomic hurdles further prohibit many dancers from seeking rehabilitative services from a dance physical therapist. Therefore, there is a need for physician education about general dance-rehabilitation principles, as well as access to a dance-specific structured rehabilitation program. We present here rehabilitation advice from an expert in dance orthopedic surgery and an example of a “preventive rehabilitation program” for injured or postoperative dancer-patients with lower-extremity injury.

Full text
Abstract:
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America. It’s been suggested that regular physical activity (PA) can improve health outcomes in cancer survivors. An estimate from BRFSS data (2009) suggested that 47% of all cancer survivors met recommended guidelines and that this estimate was not different from the population at large (48%). Several factors were examined from these BRFSS data to determine whether subgroups of survivors existed who might benefit from interventions aimed at improving their PA status. The purpose of this investigation was to obtain more recent estimates of adherence to established PA guidelines for cancer survivors. Data from 2015 NHIS were obtained from the CDC website. Of the survivors, 40% met PA guidelines. Additionally, 79% were 54 years or older, more likely to be female (60%), predominantly white (80%), with more than 2 comorbidities (41%), and with some form of functional limitation (66%). Compared to a study based on 2009 BRFSS data, an even smaller proportion of survivors met PA guidelines in this study. This might be due to differences in age distributions and no limitation of the analysis according to time since diagnosis. Targeted interventions to increase activity in cancer survivors continue to be warranted.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fyra olika aktörer med skilda yrkesroller upplevde organisationens befintliga rehabiliteringsprocess med dess möjligheter och begränsningar samt deras synpunkter på vad som kan förbättras för att undvika sjukskrivningar. En förhoppning var också att kunna ge konkreta förslag på hur man kan arbeta förebyggande i syfte att undvika sjukskrivningar inom organisationen. Fyra minifokusgruppintervjuer, bestående av två till fyra personer, genomfördes där två fiktiva fall användes som diskussionsgrund. Materialet analyserades med hjälp av en induktiv tematisk analys, vilket resulterade i de fyra temaområdena; Verktyg för att förbättra hälsoarbetet, Insatser för att motverka sjukskrivningar, Begränsningar i hälsoarbetet samt Chefens roll i hälsoarbetet. I studien framkom att deltagarna ansåg att rehabiliteringsprocessen är ett bra verktyg som förenklar rehabiliteringsarbetet, men att den behöver fortsatt utveckling. Resultatet visade även att deltagarna hade många förslag på åtgärder för att förbättra den fysiska och psykosociala arbetsmiljön.
The aim of this study was to examine the experience, of four different actors’ with diverse occupational roles, of the existing rehabilitation process in the organization, with its limitations and possibilities. A further aim was to examine the preventive work and hopefully contribute with some practical solutions to counteract sick leave within the organization. Four mini focus group interviews with two to four people were carried out with two fictitious cases as a base for discussion. Data was analyzed by an inductive thematic analysis and resulted in four thematic areas; Tools to improve the health work, Efforts to avoid sick leave, Health work limitations and The manager’s role in health work. The study showed that the participants considered that the rehabilitation process was a good tool that simplifies the rehabilitation work, but it needs further development. The results also showed that the participants had many suggestions of how to improve the physical and psychosocial work environment.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: The development of an objective and comprehensive drug-based index of physical function for older adults has the potential to more accurately predict fall risk. Design: the index was developed using 862 adults (ages 57–85) from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) Wave 1 study. The index was evaluated in 70 adults (ages 51–88) from a rehabilitation study of dizziness and balance. Methods: The prevalence among 601 drugs for 1,694 side effects was used with fall history to determine the magnitude of each side effect's contribution towards physical function. This information was used to calculate a Medication-based Index of Physical function (MedIP) score for each individual based on his or her medication profile. The MedIP was compared to the timed up and go (TUG) test as well as drug counts using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The associations between various indices of physical function and MedIP were calculated. Results: Within the NSHAP data set, the MedIP was better than drug counts or TUG at predicting falls based on ROC analysis. Using scores above and below the cutpoint, the MedIP was a significant predictor of falls (OR = 2.61 [95% CI 1.83, 3.64]; P < 0.001). Using an external data set, it was shown that the MedIP was significantly correlated with fall number (P = 0.044), composite physical function (P = 0.026) and preferred gait speed (P = 0.043).

Abstract:
Результатом изучения онкологии через призму взаимоотношений опухоли и организма, больного с социумом возникла потребность создания одной из составных клинической дисциплины – физической реабилитации онкологических болезней [1]. Физические упражнения изменяют гормональный баланс, а также снижают избыток эстрогена и тестостерона, которые стимулируют рост раковых клеток. Двигательная активность снижает уровень сахара в крови и, как результат, секрецию инсулина и инсулиноподобного фактора роста (ИФР), что провоцирует воспаление тканей, а также рост и распространение опухолей. Исследования Джозефа Либонати, Гиту Матукумарани, Виктора Феррари и др., показывают, что физические упражнения действительно помогают телу бороться с раковыми заболеваниями. Однако нагрузка и продолжительность занятий для разных видов таких заболеваний – неодинаковые.

Abstract:
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad tränare inom truppgymnastik för barn mellan 8-12 år har för erfarenheter av skador och skadeförebyggande träning och hur man på bästa sätt främjar en stimulerande och motiverande träningsmiljö. Design och metod: Deskriptiv och explorativ kvalitativ design. Semistrukturerade intervjuer av fem tränare inom truppgymnastik för barn i åldern 8-12 år. Data bearbetades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys enligt Graneheim och Lundman. Resultat: Tränarna hade erfarenhet av fysiska skador och arbetade med skadeprevention genom preventiva övningar och att upprätthålla säkerhet i träningen. Tränarna fann utmaningar i att bedöma allvaret i en skada, hur man kan förebygga den och hur den ska rehabiliteras. De önskar ökad kunskap i form av riktlinjer, utbildning, ökat föreningsengagemang samt samarbete med fysioterapeuter. En positiv träningsmiljö ansågs bäst för trivsel och framgång i sin idrott. Tränarna ska vara förebilder, ge positiv feedback och främja träningsglädje och skapa god gruppgemenskap. Det viktigaste var slutligen att ha roligt och inte hur bra man presterar. Konklusion: Erfarenheter av skador fanns men kunskaperna var begränsade kring prevention och rehabilitering. Yytterligare utbildning önskades samt konsultation från exempelvis fysioterapeut. Tränarnas sätt att främja en god psykosocial träningsmiljö för unga gymnaster överensstämmer med riktlinjer från idrottsförbunden och har vetenskaplig evidens och bör därför bibehållas i fortsättningen.  TeamGym, coach, children, injury prevention, rehabilitation, psychosocial,  physical therapy
Purpose: To investigate the experiences of a group of TeamGym coaches regarding physical injuries, injury prevention and how to enhance a stimulating and motivating environment for  training and competition for children in the ages of 8-12, in the best way possible. Design and method: Descriptive and explorative qualitative design. Semi-structured interviews with five coaches in TeamGym. Data analysis was conducted by using a qualitative content analysis. Results: The coaches have experienced physical injuries and work with injury prevention such as using preventive exercises and maintaining safety at all times. They found it challenging to assess the severity of an injury, how to prevent it and how to pursue rehabilitation. They need increased knowledge through education, commitment from their clubs and cooperation with physical therapists. A positive environment for training was considered vital concerning well-being in sports. Coaches should be role models and provide positive feedback and maintain a good team spirit. The most important aspect is to have fun rather than the gymnastic performance. Conclusion: Coaches in Teamgym have perceived lacks of knowledge regarding injuries and a limited experience from injury prevention and rehabilitation. Possible solutions are increased education and consultation from physical therapists. The coaches are encouraging a rewarding psychosocial training environment in a way which is coherent with guidelines from Swedish sports federations and is supported by existent scientific evidence. Hence they ought to maintain it.

Abstract:
The monograph introduces a new concept - the aviation and missile cluster as a new class of objects of geo-ecological monitoring, united by the solution of identical strategic tasks of the state, the interconnection of its structural elements, the identity of priority contaminants and products of their transformation. The scientific and methodological apparatus of complex geoecological monitoring of territories under the influence of objects of aviation and space activities is presented, including predictive models of the spread and transformation of priority contaminants in environmental objects, taking into account their physical and chemical properties, geographical and climatic features of the studied territory; algorithms and methods for assessing the environmental situation in the area of the aviation and rocket cluster to support management decisions on conducting rehabilitation and preventive medical and environmental measures. The proposed scientific and methodological apparatus improves the quality of the assessment of the geoecological situation while reducing the cost of monitoring the territory of the aviation and missile cluster. The scientific results obtained by the authors based on the results of eleven-year geoecological monitoring of a typical aviation and rocket cluster located within the city of Voronezh and including an airfield of state aviation and a test complex of launch vehicles are presented. For a wide range of readers interested in environmental problems of scientific and technological progress.

Abstract:
As we know, aging is an ongoing biological process from which no human being can escape. Although everyone is familiar with ageing, defining it is not so easy. There is no United Nations standard numerical criterion of old age, but, it is agreed cut off is 60 plus years. Currently, due to the availability and accessibility of effective medication and treatment at specialty hospitals that increase life expectancy of old age people, over the past century, the population, although aged with disabilities, has aged around the world. Recent advances in the field of medicine, public health, technology, and rehabilitation in different streams have reduced the discrepancy in life expectancy for persons with disabilities.

Abstract:
The progressive growth of the ageing population represents opportunities as well as challenges. Consistently, the identification of effective cognitive empowerment programs in elderly population is now a worldwide health policy priority, specially for their preventive effect. In this chapter, within the paradigm of Positive Technology, the main focus will be on the use advanced technologies as effective tools for a new class of applications aimed at improving the traditional cognitive empowerment in elderly. Specifically, the attention will be devoted on how advanced technologies may be used to support elderly in reaching engaging and self-actualizing experiences. On the basis of the most recent evidence in literature, it will be discussed the possible advantages in using such advanced technologies for improving well-being in frail elderly: coupled with an increase in cognitive skills acquisition, the advantages may range increased self-efficacy and decreased subjective weakness, with a consequent improvement in both physical and cognitive performance.

Abstract:
Existing un-reinforced masonry buildings made of vaults, columns and brick and multi-leaf stone masonry walls, many of which have historical and cultural importance, constitute a significant portion of construction heritage in Europe and rest of the world. Recent earthquakes in southern Europe have shown the vulnerability of un-reinforced masonry constructions due to masonry almost total lack of tensile resistance. Composite materials offer promising retrofitting possibilities for masonry buildings and present several well-known advantages over existing conventional techniques. The aim of this work is to analyze the effectiveness of seismic-upgrading methods both on un-damaged (preventive reinforcement) and damaged (repair) masonry building. After a brief description of mechanical and physical properties of composite materials, three different applications have been addressed: in-plane reinforcement of masonry walls, extrados and intrados reinforcement of masonry vaults/arches and masonry column confinement with composite materials.

Abstract:
Cardiac and physical rehabilitation featuring exercise training (ET) is an important component of secondary prevention. Patients with advanced heart failure (HF) and dependent on mechanical circulatory support (MCS) who participate in cardiac and physical rehabilitation demonstrate physiological adaptations and improvements in exercise capacity and prognosis. Immediate post-implant and long-term engagement in ET works to strengthen central and peripheral oxygen-dependent metabolic pathways as a primary means for which clinical and real-world benefits are gained. Accordingly, this chapter presents (1) a contemporary review of the role that cardiac and physical rehabilitation plays in HF and MCS; (2) discussion focused on the importance of understanding exercise physiology as the basis for ET; (3) evidence-based recommendations for deploying safe and individualized ET in the immediate- to long-term postoperative window; and (4) identification of key research areas focused on MCS and secondary prevention needed to advance the mechanistic understanding of the benefit linked to ET, to gain universal support for cardiac and physical rehabilitation, and to improve patient utilization of cardiac and physical rehabilitation.

Abstract:
The data of an experimental study of the features of aggressive behavior in teenage drug addicts, as well as the possibility of controlling and self-regulation of aggressive manifestations in this category of individuals are presented. The growth of aggressive trends in adolescence reflects one of the most acute social problems of modern societies, where drug addiction, alcoholism, and juvenile delinquency have risen sharply in recent years. To study the features of aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts, we used a battery of valid methods and methods aimed at assessing the specifics of aggressive manifestations, personal, motivational, strong-willed and other features of teenage drug addicts. The article shows that, indeed, the aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts has its own distinctive features, determined by the presence of accentuation or psychopathy of character, inadequate self-esteem, self-centeredness; violations of attitudes, motivation, affective sphere of personality, with irritability and increased excitability; the predominance of verbal, physical forms of aggression, suspicion; the orientation of aggression to external objects, in addition, the characteristics of the aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts depend on a number of microsocial factors, etc. In order to increase the effectiveness of preventive and rehabilitation work with aggressive teenage drug addicts, such methods of action show effectiveness as: mandatory and primary treatment of adolescents is drug addicts, the inclusion of adolescents in this category in the anonymous grooms of drug addicts, in the system of socially recognized and socially approved activities the use of psychotherapy, methods of active psychological impact; conducting educational and preventive work with the inner circle of a teenage drug addict, etc. The article presents reasonable conclusions from a stating experiment, and offers recommendations for the prevention and correction of selfregulation of aggressive manifestations in teenage drug addicts.

Abstract:
Stroke is a disorder that affects over 700,000 of people each year, with nearly 500,000 will be left with some sort of long-term disability. While the underlying cause is neurological disability in the region of the brain where the stroke occurred, the functional problem is most often physical disability. Many stroke patients can no longer use their extremities. Lower extremity deficit causes problems with walking and balance, while upper extremity deficit represents significant challenges with common activities of daily living (1). Stoke is considered one of the leading causes of disability in adults (2)! It can also have a tremendous impact on activities of daily living, and may result in dependence on a caregiver. Treatment for stroke has improved, and early detection and treatment can often mitigate the effects and prevent the sequelae of a stroke. Still nearly half a million stroke patients experience some level of physical dysfunction each year. Clearly physical dysfunction due to stroke is an enormous medical problem, and research to improve prevention, treatment and rehabilitation related to stroke is very important.

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity worldwide. In patients with COPD, the level of physical activity is reduced, which is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes of this disease. At the same time, the problem of physical activity in patients with occupational COPD has been little studied. There are a number of factors affecting the physical activity of patients with COPD, one of which is exercise tolerance. To evaluate it, special tests are used, one of which is the 6-minute walk test. The aim of the study was to compare the characteristics of exercise tolerance in patients with COPD and occupational COPD. We analyzed the case histories of patients with an established diagnosis of COPD undergoing inpatient treatment and pulmonary rehabilitation. Patients (n - 35) were divided into two groups. The first group - patients with generalized COPD (n -17), men from 55.0 ± 20.0 years. The second group is patients with occupational COPD (n-18), men from 55.0 ± 20.0 years. All patients underwent a 6-minute walk test. The analysis of the results has been carried out. On average, patients with occupational COPD walked a shorter distance in 6 minutes, although these differences were not significant. In the group of occupational COPD, a larger percentage of patients had a worse prognosis in the prevention of cardiovascular complications. The 6-minute walk test can be used in combination with other assessment methods at the stages of pulmonary rehabilitation in order to determine the prognosis, determine the tolerance of physical activity.

Abstract:
Context: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a degenerative neurological disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance resulting from the loss of GABAergic neurons in the striatum. The prevalence of HD is 10.6 to 13.7 individuals per 100,000 in the Western population. Case report: DRO is a 57- year-old female admitted to a Long-Term Care Facility in 2018 due to the diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease (HD) four years ago. The patient presented right-side hemiplegia, choreic movements in the upper extremities, postural instability, dysarthria, visual hallucinations, behavioral changes, alert and communicative. During institutionalization, the occupational therapist, physical therapist and the speech therapist performed cognitive stimulation activities, motor physiotherapy with balance training, gait and muscle strengthening, interventions for dysarthria and dysphagia prevention. After a year, there was a disease progression with episodes of fall and deterioration of choreic movements, cognitive function and coordination; then, the physical therapist intensified motor rehabilitation and bracing in the left hand in the occupational therapy sessions due to the onset of deformities. In 2020, the patient reported stabilizing her clinical condition and continued the rehabilitation sessions. Conclusions: Physiotherapeutic interventions demonstrated improvement in muscle strength and gait in HD patients. However, the results are heterogeneous due to the morbidity and phenotypic variety of the disease. The response to occupational therapy and speech therapy lacks previous studies on this disease. Thus, the multidisciplinary therapeutic approach is indicated due to its importance in the patient’s overall assessment and prevention of comorbidities.

Abstract:
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is currently a global epidemic, with motor and respiratory sequelae; the latter represents the major cause of death and readmissions in individuals with SCI. There are no established protocols regarding the safety and effectiveness of respiratory techniques for the management of these complications after SCI. Objectives: To propose a physical therapy intervention protocol using the OnyxR device for the management and prevention of respiratory complications in the chronic phase in individuals with SCI. Design and setting: The study will be held at Acreditando (Neuromotor Center). Methods: clinical trial (single-arm) for functional training of cough using the OnyxR device to perform insufflation and exsufflation assisted on pressure manner, for 12 weeks, 1x / week, associated with the usual rehabilitation; following variables such as peak cough flow (PCF), spirometry, manovacuometry and functional SCI scales. Results: The decrease in muscle strength in SCI along with postural changes contributes to ventilatory restriction; similar to the alterations seen in neuromuscular diseases, in which the auxiliary cough equipment is already well studied. Conclusions: This protocol intends to verify the safety and effectiveness of the use of the OnyxR equipment in individuals with SCI; training may lead to increased tidal volume, forced vital capacity and PCF, preventing future respiratory complications.

Abstract:
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of death worldwide. More patients with CVD are living than before due to medical advancements. Therefore, there is an urgent need for secondary prevention strategies. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a secondary prevention model of care for the management of CVD. Aim: This is the first study to explore the association between attending at least the median number of CR sessions and change in HRQOL among patients in Qatar. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all patients who were enrolled in the CR program in Qatar. Secondary data were extracted from patients’ records before the CR program (pre-CR) and at patient discharge (post-CR). The SF-36 instrument was used to assess HRQOL among patients. Results: The study involved 396 (91.4%) males; the mean age was 52.7±9.8 (SD) years. There was a statistically significant association between attending at least the median number of CR sessions and change in physical functioning scores (95% CI=8.85-29.11/ p-value=0.002), change in social functioning scores (95% CI=0.04-19.38/ p-value=0.04), change in emotional well-being scores (95% CI= 1.92-22.13/ p-value=0.02), and change in general health scores (95% CI=0.38-16.42/ p-value= 0.03), as compared to attending less than the median number of sessions. The models adjusted for age, gender, comorbidities, risk level, depression, and baseline HRQOL scores. Conclusion: CR program improved HRQOL. Therefore, there is a need to promote CR utilization and to implement strategies to keep patients in programs. These findings could motivate policymakers to expand CR program capacity, as the sole program in Qatar.

The Andalusian defensive heritage and its management in the intervention. A model on Health and SafetyThe Management of the Architect or Building Engineer in Restoration works in defensive buildings such as (towers, walls, castles, etc.) has an exhaustive and specific workforce due to the particularities especially in the environment of the Health and Safety Coordination. This communication will focus on the management of the technician on the Prevention of Occupational Risks in the Restoration, Rehabilitation and Consolidation works on defensive constructions chosen by the author of her International Thesis from the point of view of their integration in all processes: definition and Execution of the activities to be carried out. The destination and final objective is to ensure the physical integrity of the workers who are in contact in the Restoration of Historical Heritage. Research has been carried out in this area both in Andalusia and in the South of France, around the Mediterranean, reflecting the comparison of particularities as an example in 2 defensive interventions: “Restoration in the tower of Castle Molares (Sevilla)” and “Consolidation of Castle Olvera (Cádiz)”. The Technician's work is fundamental for the control of risks in the workplace, especially in the consolidation and restoration of defensive heritage. The actions of the Health and Safety Coordinator in the execution phase in the Restoration or Rehabilitation differ considerably with the works of Nueva Planta, since the stability of the building must be guaranteed in addition to the difficulty involved in the execution procedures and the “surprises” that can be found when acting on the property of this type. Documents are prepared reflecting the modifications in the Restoration Process that will entail new “occupational risks” and the consequent “health and safety measures” that will have to be taken to eliminate or minimize as indicated in Law 31/95 of PRL.

Abstract:
Upper extremity plyometric exercises show potential for shoulder injury prevention and rehabilitation. Plyometric exercises are physical activities in which muscles are extended and contracted in a rapid and repetitive manner. An example of a plyometric shoulder exercise consists of repeatedly throwing and catching a medicine ball into a trampoline system as quickly as possible. However, proper characterization of the efficacy of the exercise requires knowledge of ball contact events; specifically, the ball contact and release times. The objective of this work was to design and test a low cost touch activated glove system that could be used to determine contact events during upper extremity plyometric exercises. The sensor design consists of a neoprene frame over which layers of Velostat® film and copper fabric are arranged to create a pressure sensitive on-off switch. Individual sensors were constructed for digits II through IV and two for the upper palm area. Each sensor was attached to a nylon glove and wired to a terminal block, circuit board and battery pack situated on the back of the hand. A second nylon glove was used to cover and protect the sensors. Contact versus no contact sensor resistance was experimentally determined by measuring the sensors’ resistance when pressure was applied to various regions of the sensor contact area. This was used to anticipate the analogous contact verses no contact sensor voltage. The response time of the sensors plus measurement circuit was also determined by measuring the rise and fall time of the glove system due to contact events. Activated sensors produce a high voltage (> 3.0V) in the measurement circuit and indicate contact. The touch activated glove system was successfully used in a research study to quantify the intensity of overhand plyometric throwing and in another study to determine the biomechanical variables for the single arm seated shot put upper extremity functional performance test.

Abstract:
Abstract The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines bioengineering as an interdisciplinary field that applies physical, chemical, and mathematical sciences and engineering principles to the study of biology, medicine, behavior, and health. Bioengineering advances knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems level, and develops new and novel biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices, and informational approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health. Enormous contributions to the advancement of health care have been made through bioengineering. It has been instrumental in establishing the United States as the world leader in health care technology, as evidenced by a $4.6 billion trade surplus for this sector in 1993. The field, through basic and applied research and technology assessment, has given us such devices as the pacemaker, orthopedic implants, and noninvasive diagnostic imaging. Bioengineers have developed new processes for manufacturing products in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. An example is the manufacturing of human insulin, the first product based on recombinant DNA technology, where bioengineering was critical to the ability to commercialize the product. These continuing contributions and unprecedented growth, focus, and opportunity in bioengineering will be a continuing frontier and opportunity for the United States and the world.
