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.

[Some thoughts on the adaptation of technical aids for children with cerebral palsy (author's transl)].

The technical aids used by children undergoing inpatient treatment at a centre for the cerebral palsied were critically assessed over a one-year period. Of the evaluated technical aids 50% were optimal for the child under consideration, the remainder was inappropriate for one or more reasons. The most frequent amongst the non-optimal were either not medically prescribed or adequately adapted and tested. The children in question are hence threatened with unnecessary deformations, an insufficient utilisation of their development potential and a lower degree of independence. Also, the financially responsible agencies have to cope with considerably larger expenditures.
