Major drawbacks in caring for patients with physical limitations is that the conventional machines being used in most hospitals look like cages and the features and functions are not convenient for the user at home. As a result, the bed ridden paraplegic patients are unable to use the machines contently. The aim of this research is to show a solution to caring for bed ridden paraplegic patients, in order for them to keep fit at home, and to develop the exercise machine based on the disabled patients' needs-focusing on, full function, strength, safety and its practical usage. The method of study consists of five steps as follows: (1) home visiting for collecting general data, (2) checking the patient's ability and surveying patient's requirement, (3) setting ultimate goals from multi-professionals including family physician, rehabilitation doctor, physiotherapist, nurses and engineers, (4) designing the machine using software and building the prototype, and (5) testing a machine at the patient's home. The result of satisfaction after re-strengthening for a month was compared, at different times, between two disabled male patients of different ages and level of spine injury using two different types of exercise machines: MODEL1 and 2. One solution in dealing with health problems of the bed ridden paraplegic patients is a well-developed exercise programme from the multidisciplinary team. This helps the patients to exercise as suggested by diet, mental health support, as well as, exercise equipment which can provide many other benefits to bed ridden paraplegic patients. Moreover, with the development of the exercise machine, corrects inequality in health for handicap patients, specifically to tantamount with normal patients.
BackgroundThere are numerous motorcycles for transporting students in Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) campus. The motorcycle accident (MCA) is a grief to student’s parents, friends, and SUT-staff. Road traffic Injury surveillance will help to monitor the situation that might cause the injury and find injury prevention.ObjectivesThis study describes a magnitude and distribution by time, place, and person of MCA at SUT campus.MethodsThis is cross-sectional descriptive study. New cases of MCA who came to the emergency room at SUT-hospital in past 3 years were retrieved from medical records and analyzed. There were 765, 849 and 562 MCA events occurring in 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively. Based on available in-depth data in 2017, 562 MCA events were analyzed and described by time, place and person using descriptive statistics. Findings: 229 (40.7%) events were males and 333 (59.3%) were females. The most age of injured was 19–21 years old. 79.9% were the motorcycle riders and 19.4% were sitting behind the rider. However, the injuries usually occur during the month of September to October, and during the day of Wednesday to Friday. Specifically, most road traffic injuries have happened at 3–6 pm., and the accident tends to occur on the campus (89.7%).ConclusionThe results of the situation of road traffic injury help to promote SUT-student leaders for pre-hospital management, traffic engineering control, increasing bus transportation and security surveillance. Finally, SUT students should have self-awareness during use the motorcycle and passed the licensed driver.Policy implicationsThese measures attempt to implement for SUT policy in the further year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
