The SD&C Senior Suit ® gamma was developed to sensitize the public for the problems of ageing as a special low cost model. This age simulation suit simulates the following effects:
• Hochfrequenz-Hörbeeinträchtigung
• Verschlechterung des Sehschärfe
• Veränderung des Farbsehens
• Begrenzung des peripheren Sehfeldes
• Einschränkung der Kopfbewegungen
• Abnahme der körperlichen Kraft
• Kraftverlust in den Armen
• Eingeschränkte Beweglichkeit des Ellenbogens
• Nachlassen der Empfindlichkeit in den Fingerspitzen
• Kontraktur der Handgelenke
• Versteifung der Kniegelenke
• Kraftverlust in den Beinmuskeln
The simulation results in combined effects such as impaired coordination, less balance, less overall control, deteriorated grip and handling of objects, uncertainty and communication problems, so that so that everyday tasks like counting money or operating a vending machine directly reveal the typical problems of getting older. Several hundred companies, universities, hospitals and retirement homes, assisted-living centers, government facilities and schools all over Europe have used the age simulation suits from SD&C to educate people on the problems of the elderly.
