A simple, lightweight breathing-driven device offers an alternative option to traditional body hand prosthetics
Many teams work on improving prosthetics for amputees. A new approach also works on how to prepare the body. And the results are very promising.
Scientists have developed a method that, via electrical impulses to the brain, helps people recover memories and live better.
In the current demographic panorama, in Italy over 7 million people are aged 75 and over, equal to 11,7% of the total. And of these over 75s, 42% are multichronic, that is, they suffer from three or more chronic pathologies. The growing number of people of advanced age, with difficulties or disabilities, underlines the crucial importance of facilitating the mobilization of this vulnerable population. Fortunately, there are aids that can help improve autonomy, safety and standard of living. With this term… Read more
