The Rubber Hand Illusion

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University Reaching for objects, walking without hitting obstacles, landing on a chair as you sit (instead of falling to the floor), these and all our physical actions depend on an ability to perceive our own bodies in space, to know where our limbs are relative to one another and relative to the rest of the world. One way that the human brain encodes this information is called proprioception, the brain relies on its own control and feedback...

Source: Madeline Lassche, MSNEd, RN and Katie Baraki, MSN, RN, College of Nursing, University of Utah, UT The purpose of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) insertion is to infuse medications, perform intravenous (IV) fluid therapy, or inject radioactive tracers for special examination procedures. Placing a PIV is an invasive procedure and requires the use of an aseptic, no-touch technique. Common IV venipuncture sites are the arms and hands in adults and the feet in children. According to...

We demonstrate how an objective measure can be employed in the widely employed rubber hand illusion paradigm. This measure is obtained by modifying the well-established crossmodal congruency task. This task allows the investigation of multisensory processes which are critical for modulations of body representations as in the rubber hand illusion.
FAQs
Sterile technique helps reduce the risk of introducing microorganisms into the urinary tract during catheterization. This consideration is especially important when the catheter enters the bladder, whether the goal is drainage, urine collection, or fluid instillation. Maintaining appropriate technique supports safer temporary access and helps limit infection-related complications associated with urinary procedures.
Many red rubber catheters are made from natural rubber latex, so clinicians should assess the patient for latex sensitivity before use. This assessment is part of selecting an appropriate catheter and planning a safe procedure. Recognizing a possible sensitivity helps prevent avoidable reactions while preserving the intended urinary drainage or fluid-delivery function.
Proper catheter sizing and gentle insertion support safe passage through the urethra and access to the bladder. Lubrication helps the flexible tube advance with less friction, while careful technique limits unnecessary trauma. These factors are particularly important when clinicians or trained patients perform intermittent catheterization and when the catheter must be removed after drainage.
Clinicians may use this approach to relieve urinary retention, obtain an uncontaminated urine sample, monitor urine output, or instill fluids when indicated. The appropriate application depends on the clinical purpose and the need for temporary urinary access. Because the catheter is removed after intermittent catheterization, it can support episodic rather than continuously maintained drainage.
A typical sequence includes preparing the catheter, applying lubricant, gently passing it through the urethra into the bladder, allowing urine to flow through the lumen, and removing it after drainage. Sterile technique, appropriate sizing, and attention to latex sensitivity remain important throughout. Training helps healthcare professionals and patients carry out the sequence effectively.
Catheterization can provide a urine sample that is less likely to be contaminated during collection, helping clinicians evaluate urinary findings more reliably. It can also permit monitoring of urine output when direct measurement is needed. These applications require attention to sterile technique and careful handling so the collected fluid reflects the intended clinical assessment.
