Question 1

The adult brain can retrain itself.____________________ retrains the brain of some people who have lost their vision due to stroke.

Accepted Answer

B

Question 2

____________________ is a technology that allows the integration of living bone with titanium implants.

Accepted Answer

"Osseointegration" is the correct term for the integration of living bone with titanium implants. "Bone integration" and "osseocloning" are not commonly used terms in describing this process, and "bone cloning" is not related to the integration of living bone with titanium implants.

Question 3

Computerized devices are used in optometry to ___________.

Accepted Answer

Computerized devices are used in optometry for various purposes, including detecting glaucoma, making cataract surgery more precise, and detecting retinal tears. Therefore, option D is the correct choice as it includes all of the above options.

Question 4

A/An ______________ communication device is any device that helps a person communicate.

Accepted Answer

Augmentative communication devices are specifically designed to assist individuals with communication disorders, such as speech impairments, in expressing themselves. This category of devices includes devices such as communication boards, speech-generating devices, and text-to-speech programs, all of which can help individuals with communication difficulties to communicate more effectively. The other options, diminutive and impaired, do not accurately describe communication devices.

Question 5

______________ devices are attempts to replace natural body parts or organs with artificial devices.

Accepted Answer

Prosthetic devices are artificial devices that are created to replace missing or damaged body parts or organs. Examples include prosthetic limbs, cochlear implants, and artificial hearts. Replacement and artificial devices may be too broad and can include devices that do not necessarily replace body parts, such as replacement teeth or artificial joints.

Question 6

__________________ uses sensors that detect hand and finger movement and sends signals to the computer.The computer associates the hand movements with a particular word.It can then translate the sign language into text and speech.

Accepted Answer

The given description matches with the features of Acceleglove.

Question 7

_________________ is a "computer-based system [which] gives physical therapists real-time,objective measures of the motion of each joint in the patient's body."

Accepted Answer

The given description matches with the definition of a motion monitor, which provides objective measures of joint motion in real-time.

Question 8

Assistive or _______________ technology allows some people with disabilities to work and/or live independently.

Accepted Answer

The term used to describe technology that allows people with disabilities to work and/or live independently is "assistive technology" or "adaptive technology". "Helpful" and "aiding" could also work as adjectives to describe this technology, but they are not commonly used in this specific context. Therefore, the best choice is B - adaptive.

Question 9

______________is a field that helps treat disorders of the central nervous system including chronic pain.

Accepted Answer

Neuromodulation is a field that includes techniques such as spinal cord stimulation and deep brain stimulation, which use electrical or chemical agents to modify nerve activity in specific areas of the central nervous system to alleviate chronic pain and other neurological disorders. Natural modulation is not a widely recognized term in the field of neurology, and neuropain is not a recognized term at all.

Question 10

Glasses developed in Finland in 2010 that "recognize" people are called ___________ glasses.

Accepted Answer

The glasses are designed to recognize people, indicating that they are smart glasses that can identify specific individuals. The terms "automatic," "focusing," and "intelligent" do not necessarily indicate that the glasses can recognize people.

Question 11

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York used a technique called ________ ___________________ to look at at the body's response to an implant at the cellular level.

Accepted Answer

The technique used by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is called microdialysis, which involves placing a tiny probe in the tissue near the implant to collect fluid and examine the body's response on a cellular level. A is incorrect because there is no such technique as microcell, and B is incorrect because neuropacing refers to a method of treating certain neurological disorders by electrically stimulating specific nerves.

Question 12

_____________ is a bionic device that helps paraplegics walk.It is wearable and artificially intelligent.

Accepted Answer

eLegs exoskeleton is a wearable bionic device that helps paraplegics walk. It is artificially intelligent and has sensors that detect the user's movements and intentions. It has been designed to provide better mobility and independence to people with spinal cord injuries. The other options (B and C) are not real bionic devices for paraplegics.

Question 13

______________________ is technology that involves delivering low-level electrical stimulation to muscles.

Accepted Answer

FES stands for Functional Electrical Stimulation, which involves delivering low-level electrical stimulation to nerves and muscles to stimulate movement or reduce pain. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. SFE and CES are not commonly used acronyms in the context of electrical stimulation. Option D, ABC, is not a relevant option for this question.

Question 14

A computerized program called _________________ contains diagnostic analyses that keep track of specific tests and tasks performed by the stroke patient.

Accepted Answer

None of the other choices are commonly used names for computerized stroke diagnostic programs.

Question 15

The __________________ wheelchair stands up on its back wheels if the user needs to climb stairs and raises the seat to allow reaching.

Accepted Answer

The iBOT wheelchair is the only option that both stands up on its back wheels to climb stairs and raises the seat to allow reaching.

Question 16

Electronic _________________ help physically challenged people control their environments.

Accepted Answer

Aids to daily living are specifically designed devices to help people with disabilities with everyday activities such as turning lights on and off, adjusting temperature, opening doors, and more. They are electronic devices that are easy to use and make it possible for people with disabilities to control their environment independently.

Question 17

_______________ is a therapeutic robot developed in Japan.It looks and feels like a little furry seal.

Accepted Answer

PARO is the only therapeutic robot developed in Japan that looks and feels like a little furry seal.

Question 18

Head mice and puff straws are assistive ___________ devices.

Accepted Answer

Head mice and puff straws are input devices designed to assist individuals with limited mobility in their hands or arms to control computers or other electronic devices. They allow the user to input commands or interact with the device through movements of their head or breath.

Question 19

The __________________________ prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities and requires that businesses with more than 15 employees provide "reasonable accommodation" to allow the disabled to perform their jobs.

Accepted Answer

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 specifically addresses discrimination against people with disabilities and requires businesses with more than 15 employees to provide reasonable accommodations, such as modifications to the workspace or schedule, to allow disabled employees to perform their jobs. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the Welfare Reform Act do not address disability discrimination in the workplace.

Question 20

Implants pose certain dangers.Among them are __________.

Accepted Answer

All three options are potential dangers of implants. Infections can occur due to the insertion of a foreign object into the body, rejection is a risk because the body may recognize the implant as a foreign object and attack it, and blood clots can be a complication during or after the insertion procedure.
