Sprained ankles are the most commonly diagnosed injury seen by healthcare providers and are projected to account for up to 30% of sports medicine injuries, with lateral ankle sprain being the most common type. Ankle injuries necessarily involve motion assistance to regain mobility, but physiotherapists are typically able to provide rehabilitation only for one patient at each session. Numerous robotic rehabilitation strategies have been proposed in recent years; however, most of the designs have some limitations such as requiring the patient to sit or stand still. Hence, this study aims to develop a conceptual design and simulation of a compact wearable robot in aiding ankle motion for rehabilitation and training purposes. The cable-driven parallel architecture used in the construction of the cable-driven ankle rehabilitation robot allows for the exercise of the human ankle’s range of motion (ROM) to be maximized. The morphological chart analysis was created to explore the possible solutions to the design development for the ankle rehabilitation device, and the final design was decided using the Pugh method. A three-dimensional model of the proposed design was visualized in SolidWorks to analyze the inverse kinematics, trajectory simulation and cable length analysis. The feasibility of the ankle rehabilitation robot was examined against the simulation and was found to meet the requirements for performing effective ROM exercises for ankle rehabilitation. The proposed design could potentially be used for passive ankle joint rehabilitation exercise in specific ROM, particularly for bedridden patients.

Discourses on successful aging in modern times have emphasized older people’s active participation in community life as essential to their independence and sense of fulfillment. However, in some country contexts, the goal of inclusion for older adults with disabilities is not feasible. The aim of this research is to explore the barriers to social inclusion faced by older persons with disabilities in Imo State, Nigeria. We adopted Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry and non-probability sampling methods. We utilized snowballing and criterion-based purposive sampling techniques to recruit 19 study participants aged 60 years and older, using face-to-face in-depth interviews for data collection. In accordance with the hermeneutic phenomenological research criteria of reflection, immersion, and categorization, data were analyzed thematically. Our findings show a lack of social inclusion and participation among older adults with disabilities, citing personal (negative self-concept and self-isolation), social (negative perceptions and attitude towards disability), and structural (poor access to buildings, transportation, and technology) factors as barriers. Strategies to leverage these factors to facilitate inclusive participation of older persons with disabilities in Nigeria are recommended.

Gesture recognition is a developing topic in current technologies. The focus is to detect human gestures by utilizing mathematical methods for human–computer interaction. Some modes of human–computer interaction are touch screens, keyboard, mouse, etc. All these gadgets have their merits and demerits while implementing versatile hardware in computers. Gesture detection is one of the vital methods to construct user-friendly interfaces. Generally, gestures are created from any bodily state or motion but typically originate from the hand or face. Therefore, this manuscript designs an Information Feedback Firefly Algorithm with Nested Deep Learning (IFBFFA-NDL) model for intelligent gesture recognition of visually disabled people. The presented IFBFFA-NDL technique exploits the concepts of DL with a metaheuristic hyperparameter tuning strategy for the recognition process. To generate a collection of feature vectors, the IFBFFA-NDL technique uses the NASNet model. For optimal hyperparameter selection of the NASNet model, the IFBFFA algorithm is used. To recognize different types of gestures, a nested long short-term memory classification model was used. For exhibiting the improvised gesture detection efficiency of the IFBFFA-NDL technique, a detailed comparative result analysis was conducted and the outcomes highlighted the improved recognition rate of the IFBFFA-NDL technique as 99.73% compared to recent approaches.

Based on data from ethnographic fieldwork in Norway, we explore relationships of care between workers with intellectual disabilities (ID) and staff in the context of sheltered employment. Care relations in a sheltered workshop are analysed using Annemarie Mol’s (2008) ‘logic of care’, which we combine with the concept ‘the logic of the market’. In this context, relations of care enable persons with ID as workers, but tensions between care and market logics influence the operation of the workshop and its workers. We argue that processes of care transform market logics, and at the same time, market logics also transform processes of care. The logics are found to support each other, but the balance between them is fragile. This results in unstable conditions for care in the sheltered workshop.
