Old problem, different approach: alternatives to physical restraints.

Individualized care, resident assessment by a multidisciplinary team, and rehabilitation enhance functional independence in nursing home residents. Creativity in choosing alternatives to restraints was important in successful restraint reduction. Residents free of restraints had higher ADL levels, were more continent, and sustained fewer serious injuries, all of which are important quality of life indicators.

Optic- and computer-aided surgery.

Optic- and computer-aided surgery is a new, original tool for the diagnosis of dismorphies, both in its conception (digitalization of a Moiré pattern on the body) and in its applications (predominantly surgical, for legal medicine and didactic purposes). By means of this three-dimensional (3D) method of measurement by digitalized Moiré, the forms of the body in general and those of the face in particular can be studied and quantified with a high degree of accuracy. This precision in the geometrical analysis of its forms is achieved by combining the latest developments in optics and computer technology. This article presents the current state of the authors' research in the 3D synthesis and manipulation of the human image.
