A flow chart I created for choosing hospital wheelchairs.
Not meant to be used for assessing long term users…for acute or rehab settings when therapists are choosing frames and cushions from a designated pool of chairs
Maybe you will find it useful?

His Dad Beat His Mom. He Tried To Stop Him. But He Was Only 5. So He's Speaking Out Now.
Patrick Stewart’s incredibly personal and powerful story about growing up with an abusive father.An incredibly evocative, eloquent and moving story. Most definitely worth watching if you have a sturdy heart and a free fifteen minutes.

But how do they work!!You might remember Aimee Copeland as the twentysomething who went through a harrowing experience last year, losing most of her limbs after a zip-line accident exposed her to flesh-eating bacteria. Fortunately, though, technology is giving her a second chance. Copeland recently received bionic hands from a company called Touch Bionics—devices which are so effective that she can actually grab things and do tasks that most people take for granted. Amazing stuff.

Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program
GRASP (Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program) is an arm and hand exercise program that we developed for stroke patients with upper extremity impairments. We know that more arm and hand activity early after a stroke can improve outcomes. GRASP provides one method for patients to undertake a self-directed arm and hand exercise program.
Funded by a Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon grant, we showed that patients who supplemented standard rehabilitation care with GRASP had better arm and hand function than a control group who only had standard rehabilitation care. Better function was demonstrated when patients were discharged from the rehabilitation hospital and also at 5 months post-stroke. A physical therapist or occupational therapist instructed the patient in the program, but the patient did the program independently. It is important to note that better outcomes were achieved if the patient has family, friends or a caregiver who assisted with GRASP.
The GRASP author, contributors and supporting institutions shall not be liable for any damages, injuries, claims, liabilities, costs or obligations arising from the use or misuse of this material. If you have or suspect you have a health problem, you should consult your health care provider.
GRASP Patient Books are now available in English, Chinese, Punjabi, Hindi and Vietnamese.

Maybe It’s Time To Swap Burgers For Bugs, Says U.N.
Eliza Barclay, npr.orgYes, we talk a lot about eating bugs here at The Salt. We know, because some of you have complained about it.
But insect cuisine isn’t just a crazy fad for Bay Area and Dutch foodies, or for Israelis plagued by locusts: In a report out this…
