Robotics In Physical Therapy

424 Words2 Pages

While exploring the world of Physical Therapy and the impact that technological advances such as robotics have had on it, I found multiple journals, articles and books that expressed viewpoints and theories on the topic that were unique and one such theory was expressed by Elena Newland in her article ‘Robotics for Paralysis’ which I have included in my annotated bibliography. The excellence of robotic exoskeleton technology was shown through real-life examples of paralyzed patients in this piece of writing. On the other hand, Adriana Tapus and Lau Bee Theng took a more socially-driven perspective on robotics in their articles ‘The Grand Challenges in Socially Assistive Robotics’ and ‘Robotics for Assisting Children with Physical and Cognitive

Every single day, people varying in ages, struggle to live their lives due to conditions out of their control. Whether it be life threatening or not, it can have effects that are both socially and emotionally harming. Although some of them may change appearances on the outside, other people cannot forget that all people, not matter the disability, have brains and personalities of their own that may not be seen to the human eye.

    Throughout the semester, I have gained a better understanding of adapted physical education and sport programs. These programs provide children and adults with an opportunity to participate in sports they may not have thought were possible. The modifications to sport and exercise allows individuals with a range of disabilities to engage in activity. The disabilities can range from a mild learning disability to a permanent condition caused from a serious accident. While observing numerous individuals with disabilities, I was able to obtain a better understanding of the challenges that came with physical activity.

    Physical Therapy Physical Therapists provide rehabilitation for injuries and help maintain stability. “Some history of Physical Therapist formed their first professional association in 1921 called the American Women’s physical therapeutic association. In the late 1940s, the association had changed its name to the American Physical Therapy Association. Physical Therapy was developed when the association’s membership swelled to 8,000 and the number of physical therapy education programs across the US increased from 16 to 39”(“APTA History”). Although many people may think being a physical therapist is hard because of the qualifications needed, the daily work, salary, and needs of the service have drawn my attention to the field.

  • Analysis Of Isaac Asimov's Reason

    1197 Words  | 5 Pages

    Isaac Asimov’s Reason, shows us how the field of robotics is still a working-progress, Philip K. Dick’s Second Variety introduces the idea of superior, conscious machines who were created by advanced technology, and Kenneth Chang’s “Can Robots Become Conscious?” shares different views on the advancement of machines and robots. I believe machines and robots are not glorified adding-up machines and I think it is possible that they will become capable of original thought the more we advance in the field of robotics. Similar to the iPhone updates, new technology and new studies could lead to intelligent, conscious machines. Technology has come a long way, with the introduction of the Siri of the iPhone, Window 10 2-in-1 computers, flying military drones, and many more.

    “If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that shows he has not understood the first thing about them” this is a famous quote from Niels Bohr. Sometimes we tend to forget how physics is applied to our everyday lives, little do we know we use it every day such as forces and Newton’s Law of Motion. Physical therapy focuses on the recovery of said movement in patients with limited function. Physical therapist use different techniques in physics to make sure their patients are improving.

    Physical therapy is the treatment of disease, injury, or distortion by physical methods such as massage, heat treatment, and exercise rather than by drugs or surgery. The goals are to help joints move better and to restore or increase your flexibility, strength, endurance, coordination, and balance. This essay will discuss the extent of agreement that physical therapy is vital to be used as non-surgical treatments by people experiencing back and neck pain from time to time. To begin with, taking physical therapy sessions can regain original capabilities. People whom suffered from severe pain every day, tend to lose some of their abilities in handling their daily activities.
