Independence
• Mismatch between the environment and a person who has declining ability makes it very difficulty to carry out our basic daily tasks and increases the risk of accidents, such as falls
![Page 7: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Independence
• An important concept for what we hope to accomplish in our use of technology and environmental interventions:
the ability to complete basic daily tasks without personal assistance
![Page 8: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Basic Daily Tasks
• Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)– eating, grooming, dressing, toileting, bathing,
transferring, and walking– language and memory
• Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)– shopping, cooking, housekeeping, getting to
places outside of home, using telephone, money management

Americans with Disabilities Act
![Page 19: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Americans with Disabilities Act
• ADA ensures equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in employment, State and local government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, and transportation, and requires the establishment of TDD/telephone relay services.
![Page 20: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ADA Requirements
• Barriers to employment, transportation, public accommodations, public services, and telecommunications have imposed staggering economic and social costs on American society and have undermined our well-intentioned efforts to educate, rehabilitate, and employ individuals with disabilities.
![Page 21: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ADA Benefits
• ADA will enable society to benefit from the skills and talents of individuals with disabilities, will allow us all to gain from their increased purchasing power and ability to use it, and will lead to fuller, more productive lives for all Americans.
![Page 22: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ADA and “Disability”
• An individual is considered to have a "disability" if s/he has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment. Persons discriminated against because they have a known association or relationship with an individual with a disability also are protected.
![Page 23: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ADA Definition
• The ADA prohibits discrimination in all employment practices, including job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. It applies to recruitment, advertising, tenure, layoff, leave, fringe benefits, and all other employment-related activities.

Amputations and Prosthetics
![Page 27: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Facts about Amputation
• According to the National Center for Health Statistics, it is estimated that more than 1.5 million people in the United States have lost an extremity. This equates to almost 6 cases per 1,000 people.
• Why do you think this figure may be increasing?
![Page 28: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Amputations and the Aging
• It is widely agreed that amputation is surgery of last resort.
• Irreparable loss of the blood supply to a diseased or injured limb is the only absolute indication for amputation (Diabetes).
• The aging process has already forced physical and mental limitations on many older individuals, and the prospect of prolonged rehabilitation can seem overwhelming.
• Advances in the science of prosthetics have led to better long-range results.
![Page 29: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Orthotics and Prosthetics
• Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) is an allied health profession
• Orthotics and Prosthetics is the evaluation, fabrication and custom fitting of artificial limbs and orthopedic braces
![Page 30: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Arm Prostheses
• Many arm prostheses have electrically powered hands and elbows
• Simple switches may be used to control these devices
• Also, sensors on the skin can detect signals generated by muscles (myoelectric signals) to control the prosthesis
• In some instances microprocessors are used in analyzing and processing the myoelectric signals
![Page 31: Assistive Devices / Smart Technology for Successful Aging Roxanna M. Bendixen, MHS, OTR/L Rehabilitation Science Doctoral Program.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110401/56649e0e5503460f94af8e54/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Leg & Knee Prostheses
• Electronic knee joints for prostheses can now be programmed for the individual patient.
• A computer chip allows the knee joint to sense changes in position, speed and force, enabling patients with amputations to walk down stairs and hills with confidence.
• There are prosthetic feet made especially for running, golfing, rock climbing or swimming.
