One Step Touching for a Healthy Life

When the senior first arrived at Deun*han Day Care Center on April 17, unfamiliar surroundings and muscle spasms made it difficult even to remain seated in a chair.

The senior also needed a walker or other assistive devices to move around the center and required practice moving and walking in a safe environment.

The center consistently provided walking exercises using Walkmate to help the senior overcome the fear of falling and stand and walk safely.

With Walkmate providing stable body support, the senior practiced taking one step at a time with assistance from the staff and gradually regained the ability and confidence to walk.

As the senior continued exercising consistently, gradual improvements began to appear in both posture and walking.

At first, the senior relied on a walker to move around the center, but gradually became better able to maintain balance and walk independently, while relying less and less on assistive devices.

The senior has now made remarkable progress and can walk independently around the center without any assistive devices.

This meaningful transformation can be seen not only in the senior’s steadier steps, but also in the more relaxed and cheerful expression compared with when the senior first arrived.

This progress was made possible through the senior’s dedication, the center’s compassionate care, and consistent exercise using Walkmate.

We hope to see more care centers helping people regain their precious lives in this way.
