Abstract book 6th RMS 16.indd

to operate the generator through the main
generator, there are difficulties appear
when we provide O2 cylinders of are the
main alternative to a generator of Oxygen,
either in the case of exposing the region
to environmental pollution, regardless
of its format or harmful, such as a fire
or chemical warfare, Vann generator is
designed to deal with Helium, Nitrogen,
and not designed to deal with gas and
master carbon.
Conclusion: This study has shown that, the
use of liquid Oxygen system tank was more
efficient in comparison with the Oxygen
generators.

Objectives: To investigate the difference
between temperature readings of
traditional mercurial thermometers
and digital thermometers (vertical and
horizontal position) in children.
Methods: Temperature readings of a
random sample of 108 children of both
sexes aged between one year and ten
years visiting Queen Rania Hospital for
Children for treatment during the month
of April 2012. The children’s temperature
was measured by three methods:
using a mercury thermometer, a digital
thermometer with horizontal positioning
at first and using the same digital
thermometer with vertical positioning.
Data for all three types of measurements
was then entered and processed by SPSS
software. The mean temperature of the
respondents based on the three methods
was: 36.75, 36.75 and 36.71 respectively.
Results: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was
also employed to test the main question in
the research paper. The findings show that
the difference in temperature measured
by the three devices or methods was
not statistically significant, i.e. the null
hypothesis of no difference is accepted.
Conclusion: The children’s temperature
measurement does not vary according
to the type of thermometer device used
or the position in which the probe of the
digital thermometer is placed.

Objectives: This study was conducted to
identify the outcomes of the wheelchair
prescription process for spinal cord injury
patients at Royal Rehabilitation Center
(RRC).
Methods: Fifty eight spinal cord injured
patients, 40 males (age range 18 to 50
yrs, M=31 + 8. yrs) and 18 females (age
range 20 to 46 yrs, M=28.05 + 7.97 yrs)
were involved in the study description for
individualize was used to get the required
information. An individualized description
was created to meet each patient’s specific
needs and goals. The seating assessment
which was part of the assessment process
done by therapist during certain time, all
of them used to identify the wheelchair
comfort, postural control, pressure control,
and the stability of the chair user.
Results: Results showed that 69% of our
patients have comfort with the seating,
while 85% of them achieved full stability
of the chair, also55% of our patients
have good postural control, while 21%
our patients have problem with pressure
control according to the seating.
Conclusion: This study showed that
around 31% of spinal cord patient had
discomfort with wheelchair seating also
