 | Sling for paretic limb - Special aid for patients after stroke or brachial plexus injury |
|
Paresis of the upper limb is one of the most common consequences of a stroke or brachial plexus injury. Patients have difficulties controlling the paretic limb, especially against gravity so it can create overloading-induced soft tissue damage in the shoulder area, which can lead to the painful shoulder syndrome. Reduced ability of paretic upper limb to perform functional movements (e.g., reaching, grasping, and manipulating an object) leads to difficulties in performing daily activities and dependence of the individual on the help of others. In addition to the irreplaceable role of intensive rehabilitation, temporary positioning of the limb is necessary. For this, rehabilitation aids are used to improve the user’s self-service and quality of life. Common solution for positioning paretic upper limb are currently, for example, a non-woven triangular bandage or a „bag“ type arm sling in which the forearm is placed in a soft „bag“ with a free wrist. However, these aids can overload the cervical spine and cause pain, while at the same time, it can be difficult for the patient to fix the paretic limb in such aids by himself. Our invention is intended to be used for simple fixation of the paretic upper limb in the ideal position without the need to be hung over the neck area. The aid is intended to be used for temporary period, until the patient’s condition stabilizes, and he can already be equipped with a suitable orthosis or for a temporary period until the function of the upper limb improves. The positioning sling fixes the elbow joint and the wrist of the handicapped upper limb into a „pocket“, which forms a support and ensures the ideal position of the limb by preventing damage to the muscles and joints of the upper limb. Thanks to the elastic part, there is no overloading in the shoulder area and the sling does not slip and fits well. The sling can put on by the patient himself, thus increasing patient’s self-service and quality of life during recovery. The sling is suitable for patients after a stroke, with brachial plexus paresis, peripheral paresis and after injuries of the upper limb, where temporary positioning is necessary. It can also be used, for example, in Sudeck syndrome, which is associated, among other things, with the development of edema. The use of a sling ensures a smaller bend in the elbow joint and a better lymphatic drainage of the upper limb, thus reducing the edema, enabling better rehabilitation process and minimizing the occurrence of secondary problems. After being given instructions, the patient usually manages to put the device on the limb by himself. Main advantege is its simplicity - setting the appropriate length of the sling using velcro makes aid universal and efficient during recovery, it also improves patient’s self-service during daily activities. It is also easy to handle, which was confirmed by social workers and medical staff. It can be used both in home and institutional care. |
 | Kinevolution: functional isokinetic rehabilitation developed by and for physiotherapists |
|
Functional isokinetic rehabilitation developed by and for physiotherapists: Our physical rehabilitation equipment helps physiotherapists and massage therapists in evaluation and in muscle and joint rehabilitation for recovery and maintenance of movement and prevention. The entire product line incorporates control of concentric, eccentric force both isokinetics and manual resistance simulation. Passive mobilization and isometric exercices are also available. Kinevolution® was created by the collaborative efforts of engineers and physiotherapists, our driving force being against loss of autonomy by seniors and to improve experience of physical rehabilitation of disabled people and people with special needs requiring a health care course of action. The objective is to make this tool available to physiotherapists and massage therapists for assistance and follow-up, which correspond to their current needs. |
 | Soy-PK: Bio-Based Alternative to Epoxy Resins |
|
The Soy-PK reactive oligomer cross-linker resin (Soy-PK) offers a practical, cost-effective drop-in replacement for epoxy resins containing bisphenol-A (BPA). Such resins are widely used in coatings, especially in metal beverage and food container coatings that present serious mutagenicity and health concerns. The new technology offers a viable option to displace fossil-based BPA-containing epoxy resins with a renewable source raw material, improving the industry’s environmental footprint. |
 | Self-regulated heat sink device for uniform temperature distribution |
|
Device capable of providing good temperature uniformity to the cooled object under variable and non-uniform heat flux. The invention consists of a heat sink with an array of fins which are parallel-oriented to the flow direction at low temperature but, as the temperature locally increases, deform to perturb the flow. The flow perturbation reduces the local thermal resistance, allowing high heat flux extraction without increasing the wall temperature. |
 | The ATra Technology for Secure and Private Information Sharing |
|
- Secure Inter-device Communication. Each jurisdiction (data owner) uploads sensitive data into a dedicated "black box". - Devices collectively establish case matches to determine which jurisdictions have a legitimate "need to know" specific pieces of information and only share the necessary information. - Decentralized System: Eliminates the need for a centralized system for managing private information sharing, enhancing security and reducing breaches. |
