Purpose: This report presents the adaptation of an assistive device chair for bedside sitting and its application in two patients with trunk control impairment in the acute stroke phase.

Materials And Methods: The device was built with polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipes and designed by a team of mechanical engineers and physiotherapists to maintain a prolonged sitting position with less demand from therapists. To test the device, two patients were followed up during the acute phase of stroke.

A new mesoporous catalyst was prepared by the reaction between 3-aminopropyltrimethoxisylane and Cu(II)-hexadecafluorophthalocyanine, followed by co-condensation of tetraethylorthosilicate around a micelle formed by n-dodecylamine. The surfactant was removed from the pores by continuous extraction with ethanol, giving the Si-CuF16Pc catalyst. This catalyst was characterized by SEM, FTIR, TGA, 29Si NMR, N2 adsorption and X-ray diffraction.

The compound 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) was attached onto a silica gel surface by homogeneous and heterogeneous routes. Both silica modification methodologies resulted in similar products, named SiM(hom) and SiM(het), respectively. These materials were characterized by surface area, infrared, thermogravimetry, and 13C and 29Si NMR spectroscopy.
