Geriatric Rehabilitation

Improve Physical Wellness and Quality of Life for Seniors

Aging is not a disease, it is a natural condition that needs to be advanced.

Our body changes as we age, causing a number of health issues. Some of the first visible signs of aging may be changes in mobility when engaging in daily activities such as walking or taking the stairs. Reduced mobility can prevent the elderly from enjoying their favorite hobbies and ultimately impact their independence.

Moreover, prolonged inactivity due to pain and stiffness when moving can increase the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and functional limitation.

Geriatric rehabilitation is to help older people restore or enhance function and improve their quality of life.

Common Geriatric Disorders Can Be Treated:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Joint replacement rehabilitation
  • Neurological disorders
  • Musculoskeletal disorders
  • Pain syndrome

Important Rehabilitation Outcomes

  • Maintain and improve functional mobility and capability
  • Improve endurance
  • Improve balance and coordination
  • Reduce falls and lower risk of injury
  • Strengthen muscles
  • Reduce pain from chronic conditions
  • Recover physical capacities
  • Be independent in transfers
  • Resume the previous level of functioning
  • Maintain and improve physical fitness

Equipment for Geriatric Rehabilitation

From pain relief to function restoration, GZ Longest provides various types of equipment to better serve the needs of seniors such as active-passive training of upper and lower limbs function, shockwave tools, and electrical stimulation. 

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is an incredibly effective tool in dealing with musculoskeletal conditions. It emits high-energy acoustic waves that stimulate regeneration in targeted tissues like the muscles and bones and promote healing.

As people age, muscles may become rigid and may lose tone. Bones become more brittle and may break more easily. And the breakdown of the joints may lead to inflammation, pain, stiffness, and deformity.

ESWT can help maintain strength, balance, and flexibility and reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation in muscles.

Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is a therapy that uses inflatable sleeves to intermittently create pressure around the affected areas, including arms, legs, feet, and hips.

Bad leg circulation in the elderly is a common health issue as their body ages. Older adults commonly feel colder than others, especially in their hands and feet. Some older adults even complain about their hands and feet swelling. For old people, poor circulation should be treated properly as it can lead to some life-threatening complications – such as blood clots.

IPC can help effectively boosts blood circulation, improves lymphatic drainage, prevents DVT, and reduces swelling and muscle fatigue.

Stationary bikes are one of the best pieces of exercise equipment for seniors because they provide an effective form of low-impact cardio exercise. Unlike running or walking, which can be hard on painful or arthritic joints, riding an exercise bike is non-impact and often more comfortable.

Aging has also been linked to an increase in the pain threshold, a decline in painful sensations, and a decrease in pain tolerance. The main painful complaints in the elderly are related to neurodegenerative and musculoskeletal conditions, peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis, and osteoarthritis, contributing toward poor life quality, social isolation, impaired physical activity, and dependence to carry out daily activities. 

Our Smart Nerve Stimulator Could Bring Great Relief to Tens of Millions Struggling with Pain. It also helps strengthen muscles, restore swallowing capability, and treats incontinence. It can be used by patients to deliver timely and high-quality care by themselves easily at home.
