Bruno, 52 years old. Adaptation of the workplace for an English teacher, with myelopathy
Editorial data: Portale SIVA Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi
Abstract: Bruno is a man aged 52 suffering from myelopathy with a disability recognized by 100%. Bruno uses a manual wheelchair, and is Professor of English, working at a major international language institute, but now gives English lessons at home, as the disease forces him to stay home for a long time. The type of task he has to carry out in itself is not characterized by a high level of risk but the case highlights some typical aspects of the home adaptation when having a disability. In this short presentation risks and inadequacies for home accessibility are highlighted, as well as the suitable design solution making the workplace more secure and protected.

Beds
Editorial data: Milano: Portale Siva Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi
Abstract: How often have you looked forward to lie down on a comfortable bed at the end of a hard day? Yet in particular situations the simple thought to lie down can rise strain and worry. This can be due to the inadequacy of the bed. Several kinds of bed exist that are specifically designed for people with special needs. As already said, the comfort in use depends not only on the position of the patient on the mattress, but also on the ease of getting in and out of the bed and of moving in it. These features should be taken into account when looking for a new bed. As already said, the comfort in use depends not only on the position of the patient on the mattress, but also on the ease of getting in and out of the bed and of moving in it. These features should be taken into account when looking for a new bed.
