- Verandering van kleur zicht
- Beperking van het perifeer zicht
- Beperking van de hoofdbewegingen
- Vermindering van de spierkracht
- Verlies van kracht in de armen
- Verlies in beweeglijkheid van de elleboog
- Verslechtering van de gevoeligheid van de vingertoppen
- Contractuur van de polsgewrichten
- Versteviging in de kniegewrichten
- Krachtverlies in de beenspieren
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.
