Epidemiology of Medicare abuse: the example of power wheelchairs
OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of neighborhood ethnic composition on power wheelchairs prescriptions. DESIGN: The 5% noncancer sample of Medicare recipients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare linked database, from 1994 to 2001. SETTING: SEER regions. PARTICIPANTS: Individuals covered by Medicare living in SEER regions without a cancer diagnosis. MEASUREMENTS: Individual characteristics (age, sex, ethnicity, justifying diagnosis, and comorbidity), primary diagnoses, neighborhood characteristics (percentage black, percentage Hispanic, percentage with <12 years education, and median income), and SEER region. RESULTS: The rate of power wheelchair prescriptions was 33 times greater in 2001 than in 1994, with a shift over time from justifying diagnoses more closely tied to mobility impairment, such as strokes, to less-specific medical diagnoses, such as osteoarthritis. In multilevel, multivariate analyses, individuals living in neighborhoods with higher percentages of blacks or Hispanics were more likely to receive power wheelchairs (odds ratios=1.09 for each 10% increase in black residents and 1.23 for each 10% increase in Hispanic residents) after controlling for ethnicity and other characteristics at the individual level. CONCLUSION: These results support allegations that marketers promoting power wheelchairs and handicap scooters have specifically targeted minority neighborhoods.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with disparity in wheelchair customizability among people with traumatic spinal cord injury
OBJECTIVES: To determine if a standard of care for wheelchair provision exists within the participating centers and if there is disparity in wheelchair customizability among the study sample. DESIGN: Convenience sample survey. SETTING: Thirteen Model Spinal Cord Injury Systems that provide comprehensive rehabilitation for people with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and that are part of the national database funded through the US Department of Education. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 412 people with SCI who use wheelchairs over 40 hours a week. INTERVENTION: Survey information was obtained from subjects via telephone and in-person interviews and from the national database. Collected information included age, race, education, level of injury, and wheelchair funding source. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Number and type (manual or power) of wheelchairs. Wheelchair customizability as defined by design features (eg, adjustable axle position, programmable controls). RESULTS: Ninety-seven percent of manual wheelchair users and 54% of power wheelchairs users had customizable wheelchairs. No power wheelchair user received a wheelchair without programmable controls. Minorities with low socioeconomic backgrounds (low income, Medicaid/Medicare recipients, less educated) were more likely to have standard manual and standard programmable power wheelchairs. Older subjects were also more likely to have standard programmable power wheelchairs and handicap scooters. CONCLUSIONS: The standard of care for manual wheelchair users with SCI is a lightweight and customizable wheelchair. The standard of care for power wheelchairs users has programmable controls. Unfortunately, socioeconomically disadvantaged people were less likely to receive customizable wheelchairs.

The smart wheelchair component system
While the needs of many individuals with disabilities can be satisfied with power wheelchairs and medicare power wheelchairs, some members of the disabled community find it difficult or impossible to operate a standard power wheelchair. To accommodate this population, several researchers have used technologies originally developed for mobile robots to create “smart wheelchairs” that reduce the physical, perceptual, and cognitive skills necessary to operate a power wheelchair. We are developing a Smart Wheelchair Component System (SWCS) that can be added to a variety of commercial power wheelchairs with minimal modification. This paper describes the design of a prototype of the SWCS, which has been evaluated on wheelchairs from four different manufacturers.

Treatment Modalities
Several treatment options are available to address inmates’ needs and situations in the correctional system. Therapeutic communities (TCs) are intensive, long-term, self-help, highly structured, residential treatment modalities for chronic, hardcore drug rehab dallas users. Pharmacological maintenance programs involve the long-term administration of a medication that either replaces the illicit prescription drug addiction dallas or blocks its actions. Pharmacological applications include the following:
Methadone: a narcotic analgesic that is an effective substitute for heroin, morphine, codeine, and other opiate derivatives.
Naltrexone: an opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids, such as heroin, thereby discouraging their use.
Buprenorphine: a medication still in the experimental stage that exhibits mixed opioid-like and opioid-antagonist properties.

How to Take Mini Blind Measurements
In order to perform field measurements for venetian discount blinds, first you have to determine whether the mini blinds are to be mounted inside or outside the window. Please specify which method of installation will be required. If an inside mount is required, the width of the window should be measured at the top, the middle, and the bottom, with the smallest measurement being the measurement recorded. The length of the window should be taken on the left and on the right sides, with the longest measurement being the measurement recorded. The manufacturer will take the necessary deductions.

Evaluation of the safety and durability of low-cost nonprogrammable electric powered wheelchairs
Posted in Hosting, Technology, Web by Admin
Evaluation of the safety and durability of low-cost nonprogrammable electric powered wheelchairs
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a selection of low-cost, nonprogrammable electric-medicare power wheelchairs (EPWs) and medical scooters meets the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA) Wheelchair Standards requirements. DESIGN: Objective comparison tests of various aspects of power wheelchair design and performance of 4 EPW types. SPECIMENS: Three of each of the following EPWs: Pride Mobility Jet 10 (Pride), Invacare Pronto M50 (Invacare), Electric Mobility Rascal 250PC (Electric Mobility), and the Golden Technologies Alant GP-201-F (Golden). SETTING: Rehabilitation engineering research center. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Static tipping angle; dynamic tipping score; braking distance; energy consumption; climatic conditioning; power and control systems integrity and safety; and static, impact, and fatigue life (equivalent cycles). RESULTS: Static tipping angle and dynamic tipping score were significantly different across manufacturers for each tipping direction (range, 6.6 degrees-35.6 degrees). Braking distances were significantly different across manufacturers (range, 7.4-117.3 cm). Significant differences among groups were found with analysis of variance (ANOVA). Energy consumption results show that all EPWs can travel over 17 km before the battery is expected to be exhausted under idealized conditions (range, 18.2-32.0 km). Significant differences among groups were found with ANOVA. All EPWs passed the climatic conditioning tests. Several adverse responses were found during the power and control systems testing, including motors smoking during the stalling condition (Electric Mobility), charger safety issues (Electric Mobility, Invacare), and controller failures (Golden). All EPWs passed static and impact testing; 9 of 12 failed fatigue testing (3 Invacare, 3 Golden, 1 Electric Mobility, 2 Pride). Equivalent cycles did not differ statistically across manufacturers (range, 9759-824,628 cycles). CONCLUSIONS: Large variability in the results, especially with respect to static tipping, power and control system failures, and fatigue life suggest design improvements must be made to make these low-cost, nonprogrammable EPWs safe and reliable for the consumer. Based on our results, these EPWs do not, in general, meet the ANSI/RESNA Wheelchair Standards requirements.

Mini Blind Contract Changes Definition
Posted in Plans, Technology, Web by Admin
Mini Blind Contract Changes Definition
Contract changes, if any, over the life of the contract are implemented by contract addenda released by the Contract Administrator to the contractor. If the contractor is accepting orders and/or delivering through other parties, for example a manufacturer accepting orders and delivering through a dealer network or dealers receiving orders through a network of other dealers, then it is the responsibility of the contractor to apprise such parties of all such contract addenda.

Addiction is a Chronic Relapsing Disease
Addiction is a chronic relapsing disease, shown to exhibit relapse and re-treatment rates on a par with many other chronic medical conditions like kidney disease and diabetes. Likewise, staying symptom-free requires lifelong attention to healthy lifestyle behaviors. Most chronic disease relapse is triggered by voluntary choices. For example, for a person suffering from kidney failure, having an alcoholic drink at the office party or skipping dialysis to attend a social event could trigger renal failure. For a diabetic, eating or drinking the wrong things or lax monitoring of ones blood sugar could trigger insulin shock. For an alcoholic or drug addiction dallas addict, accepting the offer of a drink or drug addiction los angeles at a party, or misusing prescription rehab los angeless to cope with a stressful life event, could trigger addiction relapse. Thus, for most chronic disease sufferers, maintaining a healthy lifestyle depends on routine therapeutic and social support. That is why recovering addicts are encouraged to participate in long-term aftercare programs or recovery group meetings to help them avoid relapse. Many faith-based providers specialize in aftercare programs providing structure and activities that create supportive elements designed to remove recovering addicts from previous negative environments and influences.

Wheelchairs, walkers, and canes: what does Medicare pay for, and who benefits
Medicare’s role in the distribution of mobility-related assistive technology has not been well documented, yet rapid growth and regional variation in spending, and concerns over “in-the-home” coverage criteria, highlight the need for facts. Using the 2001 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, we find that 6.2 percent percent of beneficiaries obtained mobility assistive technology under the Medicare durable medical equipment (DME) benefit. These beneficiaries were disproportionately poor, disabled, and users of both acute and postacute services. Average per item spending ranged from $52 for canes to $6,208 for power wheelchairs and handicap scooters. Among beneficiaries who acquired such technology through the DME benefit, these devices comprised just 2 percent of overall Medicare spending.

Seeking drug rehab los angeles Addiction Treatment
Few people spontaneously decide to seek treatment, and not many want to go through the rigors of treatment. Common reasons people seek help are because the court ordered them to, because loved ones or colleagues urged them to seek it out, or because supervisors intervened and job loss was feared. Although for women a less confrontational approach is generally more effective, studies have shown convincingly that many people who enter outpatient drug rehab los angeles treatment programs in which they face high pressure to confront and to attempt to surmount their addiction do comparatively better, regardless of what prompted them to seek treatment in the first place.
Treatment availability is a critical component in reducing use of illegal alcohol rehab los angeless and abuse of alcohol. Its importance cannot be disregarded. For a variety of reasons, including a lack of adequate treatment capacity and of adequate child care or transportation, finding the treatment individuals need may be challenging.

Adaptive EEG thought pattern classifier for advanced wheelchair control.
This paper presents a real-time Electroencephalogram (EEG) classification system, with the goal of enhancing the control of a head-movement controlled handicap scooters, medical scootersfor patients with chronic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Using a 32 channel recording device, mental command data was collected from 10 participants. This data was used to classify three different mental commands, to supplement the five commands already available using head movement control. Of the 32 channels that were recorded only 4 were used in the classification, achieving an average classification rate of 82%. This paper also demonstrates that there is an advantage to be gained by doing adaptive training of the classifier. That is, customizing the classifier to a person previously unseen by the classifier caused their average recognition rates to improve from 52.5% up to 77.5%

Curved Window mini blinds
If curved blinds are desired, a radius of curvature may be given with the +/-r option. If given as +r, The curvature is upward (which is the usual configuration). If the option is given as -r, then the curvature is downward. The radius indicates how far from each slat its effective cylindrical center resides. Each slat will be broken into as many polygons as is necessary to keep the delta changes in angle less than 10 degrees. (Note that this may result in a rather large number of polygons.)

Alternatives to Incarceration for Drug Users
Another promising alternative to incarceration is the drug court. Supervised by a sitting judge, a drug court is an intensive, community-based alcohol detox malibu, rehabilitation, and supervision program for drug defendants. The drug court movement, which began in Miami in 1989, has now expanded to all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and 2 Federal districts. The Drug Court Survey conducted by the American University Drug Court Clearinghouse reports that, as of October 2000, more than 1,050 drug courts are either operational or in the planning stage. The States with the most drug court programs include California (142), Florida (65), New York (63), Ohio (49), and Oklahoma (32).19
Studies have shown that drug use by participants involved in a drug court program is very low. The percentage of clean drug tests for current drug court participants in a survey of 14 drug courts ranged between 84% and 98%. The percentage of drug court participants who are rearrested while they are in a drug court program is also very low. A national survey of drug courts, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), found rearrest rates fell between 2% and 20% for drug court participants. Of those graduates who were rearrested, less than 3% were arrested for a violent offense, and of those, most were misdemeanors. The majority of rearrests were for new drug possession violations or traffic violations.20
