The aim of ergonomics – the optimal mutual adaptation between man and his working conditions – is to produce user-friendly, manageable and comfortable products. But who does not know, the unwieldy and clumsy control units for height-adjustable care beds. Either they get tangled up or constantly fly out of their hands trying to untangle the cable. This is finally over!
It’s hard enough to make friends with traditional bed controls as a healthy person, but when fine motor skills wears off, you’re sick or in need of care, things get even more difficult. Therefore, many a home resident rather prefers to disguise his bed himself or even leave alone in the face of the elderly unfriendly handling. Mobility in particular is a valuable and worth preserving asset, because mobility and movement have a preventive character in terms of maintaining self-employment. Especially in the care of the elderly one should endeavor to maintain and promote the individual mobility of each resident, because mobile seniors are far less prone to falls than bedridden, immobile people. In addition, thanks to rapid mobilization / early mobilization, for example, thromboembolic risks can be reduced after surgery. Furthermore, most people want to remain as independent as possible and not be foreign.
