Health accessories by jawad khan
Health accessories include items that improve a patient's quality of life and independence. They include convalescent aids like canes, walkers, and wheelchairs to assist with mobility. Orthopedic braces support and stabilize injured areas like the neck, shoulders, wrists, and knees. Home diagnostic aids allow patients to monitor health indicators like temperature, blood glucose, and pregnancy at home.
Walking aids
Walking aids such as canes and walkers are devices that assist those with mobility difficulties. Canes provide stability, redistribute weight, and reduce pain. Standard canes are straight with a handle, while variants include tripod and quad canes. Walkers provide even greater stability with a wide base of support and allow weight transfer. Standard walkers have four vertical poles while rollators have wheels, making them easier to use. Walking aids improve balance and reduce forces on joints.
Understanding and Preventing Low Back Pain
The document discusses understanding and preventing low back pain. It notes that 80% of Americans experience debilitating back pain at some point, and back pain is second only to the common cold as a cause of missed work days. It describes spinal anatomy and common back conditions like disc injuries and sciatica. It provides exercises to strengthen the core and back like planks, bridges, and cross crawls.

Restraints ppt
This document discusses various restraint techniques used for children during medical procedures. It describes restraints like mummy, elbow, knee, abdominal, ankle, wrist, finger, crib-net, and jacket restraints. The purpose of restraints is to safely complete examinations, treatments, and prevent injury while allowing procedures to be performed. Proper restraint selection and application is important to maintain comfort and circulation without causing physical or psychological harm to the child. Complications can be prevented by following safety guidelines for restraint use.
Sciatica
The spine consists of four main areas and contains disks that act as cushions between vertebrae. Low back pain and sciatica can arise from problems with these disks such as damage from wear and tear or sudden force. Various yoga poses and stretches can help relieve low back pain and sciatica by opening the hips, strengthening the back, and relaxing tight muscles. Poses like cat-cow, butterfly, and pigeon aim to increase flexibility while poses like cobra and downward dog aim to build strength.
Ergonomics in sitting posture
This document discusses ergonomics in sitting posture. It begins with defining ergonomics as the study of work performance with an emphasis on worker safety and productivity. It then covers an overview of ergonomics, including physical, cognitive and organizational ergonomics. The document discusses ergonomic sitting posture and biomechanics, noting sitting transfers weight to the sit bones and different sitting postures affect disc pressure. It recommends maintaining a neutral posture for comfort. The document also covers anthropometry, chair design principles, workstation considerations and exercises to improve posture.

Menstrual Cup - Product Forecast
Menstrual cups are reusable feminine hygiene products made of medical-grade silicone or other materials that are inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluid. They form a seal to prevent leaks and can be worn for up to 12 hours. Menstrual cups are more eco-friendly and cost-effective than disposable pads and tampons. While removal can be messy and fitting takes trial and error, menstrual cups have been improved over decades and provide benefits like reduced odor and freedom of movement during periods. Future innovations could explore biodegradable materials and design improvements for easier insertion and removal.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
