The Age Simulation Set (Extra Large) is a unique set that offers a practical insight into the challenges of aging. By using joint restrictors, weights, fixators, goggles, and ear plugs, trainees can authentically experience the limitations faced by older individuals. This valuable tool is essential for medical education, fostering an understanding of elderly patients' issues and guiding appropriate responses. The extra large version is to simulate taller individuals or larger body types.
Features include:
- Goggles: mimic visual changes like peripheral vision loss and cataract effects
- Gloves: induce loss of touch in hand and fingers
- Finger restrictors: limit finger joint movement for clumsiness simulation
- Walking stick: teaches support methods
- Ear plugs: block high-frequency sounds, emulating presbyacusis
- Back protector: enforces a bent posture characteristic of aging
- Elbow restrictors: constrain elbow joint motion for arm sluggishness
- Wrist weights: replicate arm muscle weakening
- Knee joint restrictors: impede knee joint motion for leg sluggishness
- Ankle weights: simulate leg muscle weakening
