Rehabilitation and activation of the elderly
Ageing brings with it physical challenges. As activity decreases, functional capacity declines and muscle mass and strength diminish, making it harder to manage daily activities independently.
Ageing brings with it physical challenges. As activity decreases, functional capacity declines and muscle mass and strength diminish, making it harder to manage daily activities independently. Through versatile training, the changes brought on by ageing can be prevented and physical functional capacity improved. Maintaining and developing muscular fitness is key to wellbeing. Good muscular fitness helps maintain balance and prevents falls, which are significant risk factors for the elderly.
Well-planned training and a suitable training environment also have a positive impact on the social and psychological functional capacity of the elderly.
Activation
Elderly people can be activated in many different ways depending on their physical condition. As with other rehabilitative and preventive activities, the appropriate and sufficient level of performance must also be kept in mind in the training and rehabilitation of the elderly. When selecting equipment and devices, it is important to take into account different limitations and enable participation for everyone regardless of condition. Therefore, it is advisable to include in the equipment range both easy-to-use and safe gym equipment and motorized pedal devices. Vibration training can easily stimulate muscle activation and has also been proven effective in the prevention of osteoporosis. Our experts will help you choose the right equipment for elderly rehabilitation and training.
Balance
Impaired balance, muscle strength and coordination prevent the body from maintaining various postures and reacting to external destabilizing factors. By training balance and coordination, the physical performance and quality of life of the elderly can be improved. Training balance in the elderly with various small equipment is affordable and easy. Interactive devices such as the Tymo therapy platform or the Balo dynamic standing frame for those requiring support bring more repetitions, safety and documented feedback to training. THERA-Trainer senso combines balance and coordination training with cognitive training.
