Technology transfer: from space exploration to occupational therapy.
The technologies developed for the United States space exploration program are frequently adapted for use in other fields, including occupational therapy. For example, technologies transferred from the space program to occupational therapy include a special foam material, developed for space vehicle seating, that is now used as a padding for orthopedic and prosthetic devices; and a control switch, developed for astronauts immobilized by the force of gravity, that has been adapted for use by paralyzed patients. These and similar space technology spinoffs and the several technology utilization programs that help provide new aerospace solutions to health-care problems are discussed in this article.

Custon handles of dental acrylic to promote self-sufficiency of handicapped patients.
Dental materials lend themselves to a multitude of applications outside the dental profession. The inherent physical properties of dental acrylic (autopolymerizing methyl methacrylate) provide the potential for practical adaptation to a variety of functional problems. A technique using dental acrylic is described, which is easily adapted to a variety of circumstances, enabling digitally handicapped patients to perform independent functions. Specific stepwise instructions are provided for the fabrication of an easily customized acrylic-handled toothbrush and an efficient one-handed knife. The combination of dental acrylic and this flexible technique provides a useful tool in the alteration of appliances for handicapped persons.
