Question

For rehabilitation engineering perspective a task that is specific to a single sense or movement pattern is called  ___________

(a) Functional Limitation

(b) Societal Limitation

(c) Modality-Specific

(d) Pathophysiology

This question was posed to me in homework.

This intriguing question comes from Cardiac Monitor in section Patient Monitoring System of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Modality-Specific

The explanation: A task that is specific to a single sense or movement pattern is called Modality- Specific. Interruption or interference with normal physiological and developmental processes or structures is called  Pathophysiology. Functional limitation is a restriction or lack of ability to perform an action in the manner or within the range consistent with the purpose of an organ or organ system.
