Erler Zimmer age simulation set in detail
This unique set offers you the opportunity to experience the physical limitations of old age for yourself. With the help of joint supports, weights, fixations, earplugs and glasses, you can realistically recreate the physical difficulties of older people. This is a very impressive demonstration for anyone working in the caring professions. The set gives you a better understanding of the patients' difficulties and thus contributes to practice-orientated training.
Glasses:
These glasses show you the effects of impaired vision. They reduce the lateral field of vision and simulate cataracts.
Gloves (left and right):
The gloves cause you to lose the sense of touch in your fingers when gripping.
Finger brace (left and right):
The finger brace restricts the mobility of the fingers and makes gripping clumsy.
Walking stick:
The walking stick serves as an aid for walking exercises.
Ear plugs (50 pairs):
The ear plugs block high-pitched sounds and simulate age-related hearing loss.
Back fixation:
This support fixes you in a slightly bent position.
Elbow supports (right and left):
This support restricts the mobility of the elbow.
Wrist weights (right and left):
These weights simulate decreasing muscle strength in the arms.
Knee supports (right and left):
These supports severely restrict the mobility of the knees.
Ankle weights (right and left):
These weights simulate decreasing muscle strength in the legs.
