Upper Extremity Prostheses: Harnessing and Control
Harness and Control Systems Below Elbow
Harness and control systems are integral components in assistive technology and prosthetics. Below-elbow harnessing, commonly used in upper limb prosthetics, is crucial for controlling prosthetic devices for individuals with below-elbow amputations. These systems enhance functionality, mobility, and ease in performing daily tasks.
What is Below Elbow Harnessing?
Below-elbow harnessing is a mechanism that enables the control of a prosthetic limb for individuals

Cognitive, Functional, and Instrumental Objectives
- Cognitive Objectives: Promote, encourage, and develop cognitive abilities.
- Functional Objectives: Focus on skills and procedures that the child is capable of performing. Enables basic skills and procedures.
- Instrumental Objectives: Serve as tools to formalize and conceptualize. Provide sustenance or support for the child to learn (math and study areas).

Community Health Diagnosis: Stages and Methodology
Community Health Diagnosis Process
According to Hernan San Martin, the community health diagnosis process can be identified in three stages:
- Identification of health problems, existing risks, needs expressed by community members, and available community health resources.
- Prioritization of problems and needs.
- Programming of health activities, with specific goals, to solve priority problems and real needs.
Definition of Problem and Need
Health problem and need are two closely related concepts, but they

Understanding Epidemiology: Key Concepts and Applications
Understanding Epidemiology
Content: Epidemiology is crucial for understanding and managing health risks. It compares different groups (e.g., men vs. women) to identify potential health disparities.
Key Features of Epidemiological Indicators
- Validity: The indicator accurately measures what it intends to measure.
- Reliability: Consistent results are obtained when measured by different observers.
- Specificity: The indicator reflects changes caused by specific situations.
Applications of Epidemiology
- Public
