Furniture for hospitals, seniors’ homes and rehabilitation facilities
What is regarded as being comfortable and relaxing by healthy and young people is often not suitable for people with physical impairments. With seniors, who have impaired mobility due to their advanced age, this also applies, as well as for people with damaged musculoskeletal systems.
Furniture with conventional, comfort-oriented shaping are also frequently found to be unpleasant by these groups of people and are only usable to a limited extent.
The requirements by orthopaedic specialists and gerontologists are clear. They aim at enabling time to be spent on benches and armchairs without any complaints, but particularly, standing up and sitting down without any special effort and without the assistance of third parties.
The Gesellschaft für Gerontotechnik mbH deals intensively with this issue. It tests products from various sectors regarding their suitability for people of an advanced age.
Bench systems by ODM OBJECTDESIGN MOSBACH have also been reviewed by GGT in a practical test.
Residents of nursing homes assessed the design of the models positively.
