1504 Words7 Pages

Introduction
When receiving this assignment, my interest fell towards patient interactive systems. I am intrigued with advanced technology and its role in providing patient positive outcomes. In my current area of work, Labor and Delivery, we have come a long way over the years with technology. For patients, there is a wireless electronic fetal monitor called the Monica, which makes it easy for the mother to change positions while in labor, without her nurse adjusting the monitor (Monica Healthcare, 2015).
In the nursing, a variety of technology is utilized within the hospital. For example, computerized charting, computerized monitoring, scanning medications, scanning laboratory medications, and teaching is interactive via the television for the patient and simulation models for the staff. I enjoy technology and with the intervention …show more content…

The purpose was to provide more evidence that virtual reality games provide effective poststroke rehabilitation (Saposnik et al., 2010).
Sample size and sampling method. The clinical trial consisted of two parallel groups which involved 110 screened participants with only 22 qualifying for the study. All participants were within the ages of 18-85 with a stroke within the last 6 months (Saposnik et al., 2010).
Measurement. Saposnik et al. (2010) measured results using the Wolf Motor function test, box and block test, and the stroke impact scale at 4 weeks after the intervention was used.
Intervention. The intervention used was the gaming system called Wii versus recreational games like Jenga, Bingo, and card games. With the Wii, arm movements with shoulder and elbow flexion, rotation, and extension were involved. Also, wrist supination and pronation, flexion and extension, as well as thumb flexion were used. The recreational activities, with no technology, involved the same areas. A total of eight intervention sessions were performed with Wii or traditional recreational therapy over 14 days (Saposnik et al.,

Thank you for your time and interest regarding my post on Bobath. In the same corollary, systemic review of RCTs in 2009 done by Kollen et al covering seven domains (sensorimotor control of the upper and lower limb; sitting and standing balance control and dexterity; mobility; ADLs; health quality of life and cost effectiveness) concluded that there is no evidence that Bobath treatment is superior to other treatments but the study went further, stating that there was no evidence that any other treatment was superior to Bobath either. Also, a more recent Cochrane Collaboration systemic review on April 2014 concluded that no one physical therapy method was more effective than any other approach in treatment of patients with stroke (Pollock

Your statements humble me. Thank you for your time reading my posts. Truly my first indoctrination regarding Bobath was in my pre-clinical days. At that time we have been introduced to the reflex inhibiting patterns and the use of key points of control in our interventions with stroke patients (Bobath, 1990).

Case Scenario 6 – Caesarean section – patient choice Delivery by a Caesarean section has become more common over the last several years for a number of various reasons. The old saying “once a c-section, always a c-section”, however, no longer is true. Many women who have had a baby by Caesarean section could deliver their next child vaginally if they so choose. In this case scenario, clinicians are confident that the labour would progress without a complication and that there would not be a need for a Caesarian section. However, the clinician’s opinion conflicts with the mother’s wish to have a C-section.

According to the authors Bavelier and Green (2011), there is a lack of firmly base established standards to test the impact of video games on the brain. Several researchers have studied this topic and formed an opinion based on their own guidelines or used the criteria of a closely related 'addiction'. As of 2011 when Brains on Video Games was published, there were no set guidelines for defining an 'addiction' to video games. The authors' approach to defining, testing, classifying and clarifying the impact of gaming are substantially different however there are similarities. All of the authors do agree that an impact takes place on the brain as a result of gaming, but the level and whether the impact is negative or positive is uncertain.

As technology continues to grow and grow, things like video games are becoming a larger part of everyday life.
