real talk. my braces are mobility aids too. Like yes, my cane is a mobility aid. but I rely on my braces to walk and generally get around just as much as my cane.

I just use them in different circumstances. I can use my braces at work unlike my cane, and it leaves both hands free. My cane provides more general support and specifically supports my hips where my braces don’t.

both are good, both are mobility aids, and both are valid. all the love! 💜💜

Bracing my wrist in ✨style✨

#The glove is so the space between my fingers doesn’t get sweaty #It also helps with sensory issues and the itchiness #Along with keeping my hand warm because the compression cuts off some blood circulation #Which is what it’s supposed to do #Reduces swelling #But also makes my hand super cold #The pin reads #I survived the penumbra podcast and all u got was this stupid gender #In case you can’t see it #There is also an #image description in alt #hypermobility #EDS #bracing #wrist injury #Artist injury #the penumbra podcast #the penumbra fandom #the penumbra merch #Merch

Hovering Stroll

My soul is submerged in the waters of intuition, As I observe the sky falling

Within me, a sense of peace and urgency are brawling. It is the awe of salt in the sea of my spirit’s cognition, That my ancestors and spirit council are calling

No matter your resistance, fate is immune to any attempts of stalling

I am embodied in a dream — that is nightmarish But this corporeality enables me to eat time as a dish  

I’ll fix my palate and nurse the microbiome of my psyche’s gut Because my 3-eyes are open, and never again will they shut

The Role of Injury Recovery Clinics in Managing DME and Bracing

Injury recovery clinics play a crucial role in helping individuals regain mobility, functionality, and independence after sustaining injuries or undergoing surgical procedures. Among the various services these clinics offer, managing durable medical equipment (DME) and bracing is vital in rehabilitation. DME and bracing are instrumental in providing support, stability, and protection to injured body parts, facilitating optimal healing and recovery.

DME encompasses various medical equipment to assist individuals in their daily activities and mobility. This includes crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, and orthotic devices like braces and splints. Bracing, specifically, involves using orthopedic braces to support and immobilize injured joints, muscles, or bones, promoting proper alignment and healing.

One of the critical roles of injury recovery clinics is to assess each patient's unique needs and prescribe the appropriate DME and bracing solutions tailored to their condition. This involves thorough evaluations by skilled healthcare professionals, including physicians, physical therapists, and orthotists, to determine the most effective treatment plan. The goal is to optimize functionality, alleviate pain, prevent further injury, and expedite healing.

Injury recovery clinics collaborate closely with DME suppliers and orthotic manufacturers to ensure that patients receive high-quality and properly fitted equipment. Custom orthotic devices, such as knee braces, ankle supports, and spinal braces, may be fabricated to provide optimal support and comfort while addressing specific biomechanical issues. Proper fitting and adjustment of DME and braces are essential to maximize their effectiveness and minimize discomfort.

For patient care from orthopedic injuries or surgical procedures, bracing is vital in stabilizing injured joints and facilitating rehabilitation exercises. Orthopedic braces provide external support to weakened or damaged structures, allowing patients to regain strength gradually, range of motion, and function. Additionally, braces can help prevent excessive movement or loading of injured tissues, reducing the risk of complications and promoting safe healing.

Injury recovery clinics also offer comprehensive education and training on adequately using and maintaining dynamic AFO, DME, and braces. Patients receive instructions on how to wear, adjust, and care for their equipment to ensure optimal outcomes. Education may include guidance on proper body mechanics, activity modifications, and strategies for managing daily tasks while wearing braces or using assistive devices.

Furthermore, injury recovery clinics closely monitor patients' progress throughout rehabilitation, adjusting treatment plans and equipment to support their evolving needs. Regular follow-up appointments allow healthcare providers to assess the effectiveness of DME and bracing interventions, address any concerns or issues, and make necessary modifications to optimize patient outcomes.

In conclusion, injury recovery clinics are critical in managing DME and bracing for patients undergoing rehabilitation for orthopedic injuries or surgical procedures. By providing personalized assessments, custom-fitted equipment, comprehensive education, and ongoing support, these clinics help patients regain function, mobility, and independence on their journey to recovery. Effective management of DME and bracing is essential for promoting optimal healing, preventing complications, and facilitating the return to an active and healthy lifestyle.

Recently sold one of my bikes so I used some of the cash to buy these 2 parts made by Cusco. Why are the prices similar when the brake pedal reinforcement has way less metal?

I have a feeling both parts are gonna be a PITA to install. They are not listed to fit the 2nd gen Legacy but my eyeballs tell me otherwise. Coming from Japan so it will be a couple weeks.

Why spend that much? Because they both are more of a safety thing for me with the bonus of handling/performance benefits. The car has no brake booster so one part reinforces the firewall from the cabin side, equals a more solid pedal and less stress on the firewall. The car also needed something other than the JDM toothpick of a bumper beam in case of a head on collision.

@deepenter The brake pedal reinforcement plate is something you might try? ✌️

Cusco part numbers:

GC8 Impreza front power brace: 660-492-FM

GD Impreza brake pedal reinforcement plates:

CG 667 486 A

The Crucial Role of Seismic Analysis and Design in Building Safety According to NBCC and ASCE Guidelines

Seismic analysis and design are fundamental aspects of structural engineering that ensure buildings and their non-structural components can withstand the forces generated by earthquakes. These practices are not just essential for the safety and integrity of structures but are also mandated by comprehensive guidelines and codes such as the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). This article delves into the importance of seismic analysis and design for buildings and non-structural components, guided by the principles set forth in the NBCC and ASCE.

Understanding the Risks

Earthquakes pose a significant risk to life and property. The unpredictable nature of seismic events, combined with the potential for catastrophic damage, underscores the need for rigorous building standards. Seismic analysis and design aim to mitigate these risks by ensuring buildings can endure seismic forces without collapsing, thus safeguarding occupants and minimizing economic losses.

NBCC and ASCE Guidelines: A Benchmark for Safety

The NBCC and ASCE have established benchmarks for seismic safety in the construction industry. The NBCC, applicable in Canada, and the ASCE's standards, widely adopted in the United States and internationally, provide a framework for assessing seismic risks and implementing necessary design and construction practices.

Seismic Analysis

Seismic analysis involves evaluating how a structure responds to earthquake-induced forces. This process helps engineers understand potential stress points and the overall behavior of a building during seismic events. Both the NBCC and ASCE recommend detailed analysis methods, including linear dynamic analysis, nonlinear dynamic analysis, and modal response spectrum analysis, among others. These methodologies help in designing structures that are not only compliant with safety standards but also economically viable.

Design Considerations

The design phase is critical in integrating seismic resilience into buildings. The NBCC and ASCE guidelines emphasize the importance of ductility, redundancy, and energy dissipation in structural elements. Ductility allows parts of the structure to deform under seismic loads without failing, while redundancy ensures that if one part of the structure fails, others can take over the load-carrying responsibilities. Energy dissipation mechanisms are incorporated to reduce the energy transferred to the structure during an earthquake, thereby limiting damage.

Non-Structural Components

Seismic safety extends beyond the structural elements of a building. Non-structural components, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, as well as architectural elements like ceilings, partitions, and facades, play a crucial role in building functionality and occupant safety. The NBCC and ASCE guidelines require these components to be anchored and braced appropriately to prevent detachment or collapse, which could cause injury or block egress paths during an earthquake.

The Path Forward

In conclusion,

the seismic analysis and design of buildings and their non-structural components, as per the standards of the NBCC and ASCE, are indispensable in the pursuit of creating earthquake-resilient communities. These practices embody a proactive approach to disaster mitigation, emphasizing the critical importance of preparedness and the implementation of engineering solutions that protect both people and their environments.
