A harness system is a critical component of body-powered prostheses, particularly for upper limb amputees. It enables users to control their prosthetic device through movements of their shoulders, residual limb, or other body parts.
Components of a Harness System
1. *Harness*: A flexible or rigid framework that fits around the user's body, typically the shoulders, chest, or residual limb.
2. *Cables*: Connect the harness to the prosthetic device, transmitting user movements to control prosthetic function.

This is Hrothgar speaking to Beowulf, telling him that he is worthy of being king. He describes him as "impressive in speech," which relates to the characteristics of a hero, not only a warrior and leader but also a polished speaker. It also has a direct connection to the use of Christian sensibility in Anglo-Saxon epics from the first line.
"I had a fixed purpose when I put to sea"
Speaker: Beowulf Context:
Good is that which reflects love, truth, justice, & compassion, aligning with God's will & bringing harmony 2 creation.
Physical/Natural Evil refers 2 suffering caused by natural events like earthquakes, disease, or death—these R not caused by human choice.
Moral Evil/Sin is wrongdoing that results from human free will, such as lying, stealing, or violence.
Examples:
Good: acts of kindness, healing, forgiveness, & generosity.
Evil: war, pollution,
A solar cooker is a device that uses sunlight as its sole energy source for cooking, baking, or pasteurizing food and water. It's a type of solar thermal collector that works by concentrating sunlight onto a receiver, usually a cooking pot. The cooker's interior and pot are typically dark-colored to maximize heat absorption. A transparent cover (like glass or plastic) and insulation trap the heat inside, creating a "greenhouse effect" that raises the temperature to cooking
| Sodium: primary cation in ECF - regulates osmotic forces - transport through cells by sodium-potassium pump - secreted into mucous and other secretions 1. Hyponatremia: plasma sodium below 135mEq/L (hypotonic alteration = diluted) Causes - losses from ↑ sweating, vomiting, diarrhea - Certain diuretic drugs with ↓ salt diet - Hormonal imbalances (↓ aldosterone, ↑ ADH) - ↑ water intake Effects - Low sodium → hypotonic alteration (diluted) - ↓ osmotic pressure in ECF (↑ hydrostatic = ↑ ICF) |
Pre-prosthetic Management Of A Stump is a crucial phase in the rehabilitation process for individuals who have undergone an amputation. The primary goal is to prepare the residual limb for a prosthetic device, ensuring optimal fit, function, and comfort.* Objectives of Pre-Prosthetic Management 1. *Wound Healing*: Promote healing of the surgical site to prevent infection and complications. 2. *Edema Control*: Reduce swelling to achieve a stable stump shape, facilitating prosthetic fitting. 3.

Biochemical & Analytical Techniques UNIT I General Principles of Biological/ Biochemical Analysis pH: The pH scale quantifies the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution, indicating its acidity or basicity. It ranges from 0 to 14. A pH value below 7 signifies an acidic solution, characterized by a higher concentration of H⁺ ions. A pH above 7 indicates a basic (alkaline) solution, with a lower concentration of H⁺ ions and a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻). A...
Harness & Control Systems in Prosthetics
Harness systems are an essential part of body-powered prostheses. They serve two main purposes: 1. Suspension – holding the prosthesis securely on the residual limb. 2. Control – transmitting body movements (usually shoulder girdle motions) to operate terminal devices, joints, or locks.
Harnesses are usually made of leather, Dacron, or webbing straps with metal or plastic control cables. *1. Below Elbow (Transradial) Harnessing *Aims :-Provide suspension
