EWACObstacle Course

SHARE

The obstacle course has been developed to train and restore balance, which can be easily done in a pool due to the hydraulic properties of water. All the components have a specific function in fall prevention training. The obstacle course contains hurdles of variable height, balance beams a balance board and a reaching pole.

Knowledge

Fall prevention training is a hot item in an aging population, where Parkinson is on the increase and many patients need to regain their balance after prolonged periods of bedrest or after surgery. Patients must experience slightly losing their balance while passing an obstacle. The water slows down the process, giving the patient ample time to restore balance. This way, slowly balance can be regained.
