There are many people today Mark Walton Hat , who live with mobility challenges whether it be the result of disease, genetics, or from an accident. Many individuals suffer from arthritis or chronic joint pain, or may have a disability as a result of stroke or accident. They may be dealing with muscle stiffness and reduced mobility. Arthritis is the number one cause of disabilities, however, today there are many aids which can help individuals maintain their independence. The pain may be slight to severe, and their mobility can be limited in even the simplest daily activities Malik Jefferson Hat , such as eating, drinking, or writing a note.
Any condition that causes inflammation of the joints, such as arthritis, can affect anyone. Joint pain and stiffness can make movement painful and difficult. Some may even think arthritis is a geriatric disease, but it can affect both young and old. Presently arthritis alone, affects over 53 million adults and over 300 Sam Hubbard Hat ,000 children. That is one in five adults over the age of 18, and one in 250 children.
Fortunately today, with all the studies of musculoskeletal conditions and immune systems, many products have become available to help relieve pain, and increase mobility more than ever before. However, few individuals know of them. From eating aids, such as weighted or bendable utensils Nick Vigil Hat , to writing aids, such as an arthritis pen or ring pen, can make these challenges much easier.
I met people who had little knowledge of these products, and continued to suffer from what would be considered the simplest of tasks. One young man, in a wheel chair since an early age, was eating lunch. He had difficulty holding everyday eating utensils. It would have been beneficial for him, had he used one of the many eating aids available. He has had Muscular Dystrophy (MD) since birth Joe Mixon Hat , making every day a challenge for him. Aside from watching the Labor Day telethon, most people are unaware that more than one-quarter million kids and adults in the U.S. suffer from this genetic disorder.
While waiting In a checkout line at a grocery store, I saw the woman ahead of me having trouble getting her wallet out of her purse to write a check. The real challenge came when she tried to write the check. Her twisted fingers were having difficulty holding her pen. The task would have been much easier had she used a writing aid such as an arthritis pen, or ring pen.
Also, I knew a man about 59 years old, who had lost the mobility of his right hand and arm after suffering a stroke. His concern was never being able to write again. After his stroke, he wasn’t able to even write his name. After weeks of therapy he had complete recovery. It was amazing! During the time of recovery John Ross Hat , had he used a steady write pen, he would have been able to complete work with less assistance from others.
Mentioned here, are a few of many individuals who have lessened mobility, and live each day, with a challenge. The hand and wrist have multiple small joints that work together to produce a motion. Including the fine motion needed to eat, or tie a shoelace. When joints are affected, daily activities become a challenge.
Ailments which inhibit ability to perform everyday tasks Jessie Bates III Hat , can be very difficult to overcome, however, there are many products to help you take back control of your independence. These products can minimize or remove mild to moderate joint discomfort, and help one live the best life.
Yesterday’s world was a dreadful challenge for some, when facing common tasks. Today, there are many products we can use to improve our daily life. So if you have a disability, and want to improve your daily living Billy Price Hat , you definitely have to learn what aids are available to help you.
Statistical Source: Arthritis Foundation If you are not a Chinese citizen, you can not travel to Tibet alone. It is illegal to do so. You have to find a Chinese travel agent for your Tibet tours.
You will need a "permit to enter Tibet" from the TTB(Tibet Tourism Bureau). Without this permit, you can not buy a plane ticket to Tibet.
How to get this permit? You'll need to provide your personalinfomation(name,citizenship,age,sex,occupation Dre Kirkpatrick Hat ,passport number),your planned route to Tibet, a basic schedule,purpose of your trip,contact phone number, etc to the local Chinese travel agent or the local office of the TTB. They will need the clear copies of your passport and visa too. You can fax or email these copies to the agent or local TTB office. The TTB need 2 or 3 days to process your application.
How to get in? By air: You can fly to Lhasa. But it is risky to fly to Tibet from a much lower altitude city because of the quick transition.(Altitude sickness) You can use a traditional Tibet medicine named "HongJingTian". It can alleviate your altitude sickness.If you are in Sichuan Province,flying from Chengdu to Lhasa is the easiest option. By train: The Qinghai to Tibet train began to operate in July 2006. It took less than 48 hours to travel from Beijing to Tibet by train. The cheapest ticket is only 389 RMB but you should realize that it is not so comfort to travel by train in China( So crowded and noisy ).I don't recommend this type of transportation. The only advantage is that you can slowly adapt to Tibet's high altitude instead of a sudden transition of the altitude if you take the plane. By road: Forget it! This mode of transportation will cost you a few days and the road from Sichuan to Tibet is dangerous!!
