Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

This unique kit makes it possible to experience the discomfort caused by ageing. The joint restrictors, the weights, the fixators, the earplugs and the glasses restrict the learner’s abilities so that they can experience the physical limitations of older people very realistically. This striking demonstration should be used in any healthcare training: it makes learners understand the problems of older patients and react appropriately.
Glasses
These glasses make the learner experience changes in visual function, such as the loss of peripheral vision and the alterations caused by cataracts.
Gloves (left and right)
These gloves make the learner feel the loss of tactile sensitivity in the hands and fingers.
Finger restrictors (left and right)
These restrictors restrict the movement of the finger joints and make the learner clumsy.
Walking stick
It makes it possible to experience what it is like to lean on a walking stick.
Earplugs (50 pairs)
The earplugs block high-frequency sounds and make the learner experience presbycusis.
Back protector
This protector limits the learner’s posture and forces them to adopt the stooped position typical of ageing.
Elbow restrictors (left and right)
These restrictors restrict the movement of the elbow joints so that the learner experiences clumsiness of the arms.
Wrist weights (left and right)
These weights are placed on the wrists so that the learner experiences the loss of muscle strength in the arms.
Knee joint restrictors (left and right)
These restrictors restrict the movement of the knee joint so that the learner experiences clumsiness of the legs.
Ankle weights (left and right)
These weights are placed on the ankles so that the learner experiences the loss of muscle strength in the legs.
XL version for people over 175 cm in height or of larger build.
Suitable for approximately 170 – 185 cm.
