Learn the conditions of hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) caused by a cerebrovascular accident, an external injury to the brain, a brain tumor, etc. by experiencing the actual effects of hemiplegia. Helps nurses and healthcare workers deepen their sympathy and concern. The suit is fixed so that users experience the similarity of having stiff joints due to hemiplegia. Can be used on both the right and left side.
Users will gain understanding of the irritation and fear of not being able to cross the street quickly, the difficulty of climbing up and down steps, the difficulty and anxiety of getting in and out of vehicles, and other situations. Tightness can be adjusted with the rubber belt. The cane is useful for various movements, and the necessity of it will be strongly felt. Includes: main suit with sleeve, nonslip shoes (right and left), folding cane, wrist equipment, knee equipment, ankle equipment, and storage bag. The suit (jacket) is washable. Suit size: 65 in.-68-7/8 in. H. Shoe size: 9-13/16 in.-10-5/8 in. L. Orange suit and black shoes.
The Hemiplegia Simulation Suit - Large (SB45074) is a comprehensive training tool designed to simulate the physical limitations experienced by individuals with hemiplegia—paralysis of one side of the body—often resulting from conditions such as strokes, traumatic brain injuries, or brain tumors. This suit is instrumental in helping healthcare professionals, caregivers, and students develop empathy and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by patients with hemiplegia.
Key Features
-
Realistic Simulation: The suit is engineered to restrict movement on one side of the body, mimicking the stiffness and limited mobility characteristic of hemiplegia. This allows users to experience firsthand the difficulties in performing daily activities.
-
Adjustable Design: Equipped with rubber belts, the suit's tightness can be modified to simulate varying degrees of muscle stiffness, accommodating both right and left side paralysis.
-
Comprehensive Components: The suit includes a main jacket with sleeve, non-slip shoes for both feet, a folding cane, wrist, knee, and ankle equipment, and a storage bag, providing a full-body simulation experience.
-
Washable Materials: The jacket is made from materials that are easy to clean, ensuring hygiene and longevity of the suit.
-
Educational Impact: By wearing the suit, users gain insight into the frustration and fear associated with tasks such as crossing streets, navigating stairs, and entering or exiting vehicles, enhancing their empathy and patient care skills.
