A very attractive formal cane that would make the perfect accessory for a day at the races. The handle is elaborately detailed: four horses with flowing manes and tails are depicted in low relief around the sides of the handle. The top of the handle shows ten hoofprints, and seven lucky horseshoes adorn the collar of the cane (do not be fooled by those who think a horseshoe is only lucky if the prongs face upwards, and that downward-facing prongs allow the luck to 'run out'; many equestrian enthusiasts know that upward-facing prongs mean the Devil can sit in the arc of the shoe, not to be encouraged!) The black hardwood shaft is elegantly tapered and is fitted with a smart, brass ferrule to complete the formal appearance. Overall height 92cm. Not suitable for heavy or orthopaedic use. HALLMARK EXPLANATION: The Italian-made handle is hallmarked 'R925': the European hallmark for silver that has been applied in a layer over a moulded head. The R stands for 'rivestito', Italian for 'covered'. The '925' means that the metal used contains at least 925 parts pure silver to each 1000 parts. European '925 silver' is the same quality of silver that in the UK is referred to as 'sterling silver'. Minimize

JCAHO has mandated that outcomes must be included in mental health record keeping by the end of the decade, and the six largest managed care firms have announced plans to begin tracking clinical outcomes. While debates over the potential advantages and disadvantages of this move rage on, the fact remains that all clinicians in managed care systems will soon be compelled to incorporate outcomes assessment into their clinical routines.The Measurement and Management of Clinical Outcomes in Mental Health prepares clinicians and administrators for this inevitability. Written by a team of experts with extensive experience in design and implementation, this timely book explores the rationale behind outcomes measurement and offers readers concrete advice and guidelines on conducting accurate and effective outcomes measurement.In the first half of the book, the authors review the conceptual and practical aspects of outcomes management. Among the issues receiving special attention are: the psychometrics of outcomes; measuring patient satisfaction; implementation strategies; the role of consumer characteristics in outcomes management, especially in regard to needs-based planning; case-mix adjustment strategies; and barriers to implementation and strategies for overcoming them.The second half of the book is devoted entirely to detailed case examples. Over the course of five chapters, the authors vividly illustrate their approaches to outcomes management in five different specialty areas—outpatient psychotherapy, acute psychiatric services, community services, child and adolescent services, and substance-abuse treatment services.The first comprehensive guide to designing and implementing outcomes evaluation systems, The Me Minimize

The OrthoMouse, the Ultimate ?Position of Function? Compute ... Read more

The OrthoMouse, the Ultimate ?Position of Function? Computer Mouse, represents a quantum leap in the design of hand held computer input devices and not a band aid on pre-existing concepts. It has been conceived and developed by a medical doctor to completely respect the anatomy and function of the human hand and to specifically ?do no harm?. It finally seriously addresses the pandemic of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) resulting from extensive use of tools that do not fully respect the anatomy and function of the hand that uses them. The unique, asymmetrical, right or left hand specific shape and form of the OrthoMouse obligate the hand to work and rest in the "Position of Function". This is defined in Orthopedics as the only position where all the musculoskeletal components of the fingers, hand, wrist and forearm exist in complete equilibrium. What it means to the user is that any extensive and repetitive work or periods of immobilization (rest/inactivity) are easily and naturally conducted in a position that will not cause strain, pain or injuries. This fact is well documented in orthopedics, extensively clinically tested and by now widely proven in the field. Technologically the OrthoMouse has everything to be a high precision, versatile, reliable and comfortable computer input device without any unnecessary technical hype. Minimize

How It Works Whether working at a desk all day or performin ... Read more

How It Works Whether working at a desk all day or performing some physical task for a living, we are constantly required to bend or hunch forward After a number of years this forced posture begins to take its toll on the back particularly the spinal column. The muscles become tight, the spine begins to loose its graceful S-curve and instead becomes rounded or humped. Sound familiar? The Whale provides a way to counteract these problems. By positioning oneself in a gentle backbend the spine is stretched in a way opposite to that required by normal everyday activities thus reversing this tendency toward forward rounding. Traction Effect Since the weight of the upper and lower body act in opposite directions in the raised back bend position a traction effect is achieved thus elongating the spine. The combination of these two actions called extension greatly reduces vertebrae and disc compression and often relieves associated pain and discomfort as well as improving ones appearance. Hardwood Design The Whale is handcrafted from beautiful hardwoods using a bending and laminating process which results in a light weight yet sturdy design. At only 1'w x 2'h x 5'L and a mere 20 lbs The Whale takes up very little space and can be moved most easily. It adds warmth to any environment and is attractive enough to be displayed as fine furniture in the home. Minimize

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the interdisciplinary engineering field devoted to the monitoring and assessment of structural health and durability. SHM technology integrates remote sensing, smart materials, and computer based knowledge systems to allow engineers see how built up structures are performing over time. It is particularly useful for remotely monitoring large infrastructure systems, such as bridges and dams, and high profile mechanical systems such as aircraft, spacecraft, ships, offshore structures and pipelines where performance is critical but onsite monitoring is difficult or even impossible. Structural Health Monitoring with Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors is the first comprehensive textbook to provide background information, theoretical modeling, and experimental examples on the principal technologies involved in SHM. This textbook can be used for both teaching and research. It not only provides students, engineers and other interested technical specialists with the foundational knowledge and necessary tools for understanding modern sensing materials and systems, but also shows them how to employ this knowledge in actual engineering situations. . Addresses the problem of aging structures and explains how SHM can alleviate their situation and prolong their useful life.. Provides a step by step presentation on how Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors (PWAS) are used to detect and quantify the presence of damage in structures..
