The webinar discusses the paradigm shift that is occurring in elder - a move from subsidizing immobility to paying for mobility. The webinar illustrates how the equipment and methodology targets and improves the underlying motor skills critical for day to day functions such as transfers, standing and walking. Improving an individual's ability to transfer, for example, can lead to more independence and dignity by potentially enabling a resident to toilet themselves again. At a very minimum this kind of training will make transfers more safe for caregivers and residents.

This equipment can be utilized by personnel within the program groups including restorative care and recreation, in addition to the rehabilitation team. Mobility training in the recreation programs before an individual hits the “rehabilitation radar” has both financial and quality of life benefits. Enabling a resident to stand and play a game of Wii bowling while being supported in a Bungee Mobility Trainer, has huge psychological benefits as well as being great for core strengthening, balance training and fall prevention.

We are convinced that the next decade will bring a dramatic change to the way we view and accept physical deterioration associated with old age and we believe our equipment will play a significant role in that change.
