Description

AgeGracefully Stickplus with MP3 Handle (Auto Fall Alarm)

Thoughtful Features / Benefits:

Aluminium Alloy Frame:  The frame is light, strong and resistant to corrosion. Inspired by the successful award-winning CarbonQuad Collection, a carbon fibre-design film is used to cover the tubing.

Anti-Slip Self-Standing Tip: The anti-slip design improves the frictional dynamics, especially on smooth surfaces. The soft engineered rubber encourages natural walking motions and thus reducing excessive stress on the elbow.

Safety Detachable Wrist Cord: Upon sudden excessive force applied to the wrist cord, it will automatically be detached and reduce the chance of having the walking sticks obstructing the user. This safety design ensures that the user will not be obstructed by the walking stick when they try to break-fall in an emergency.

Interchangeable Base: Normally, only about 10% of the body-weight is applied on a walking stick. A patient who suffers from hip or leg injury will usually require a quad cane to transfer about 30% of their body weight on the walking aid.

The bottom tubing is embedded with a positioning groove and screw thread to enable flexibility in switching to a more stable interchangeable quad base (sold separately).

The package comes complete with a 19mm single tip and an anti-slip self-standing tip. In addition, users can purchase a Medium or Small Quad Base separately if required.

Additional Features / Benefits of the MP3 Handle: 

LED Head Lights: Illuminates the passageway with adjustable angles. The lights improve visibility for users who need to go to the restroom from their bed at night.

Visibility Red Flashing Lights: Enables the user to be visible to other road users (car and scooters), making walking in the evening safer.

Digital FM Radio and MP3 Player: The user can enjoy their favourite tunes via the MP3 Player and stay engaged with news via their preferred radio stations. It comes complete with a removable Mirco SD Card for easy access to downloading MP3 songs.

Research has shown that Music Therapy is effective in reducing the rate of dementia deterioration. Interestingly, some caregivers use the user’s favourite songs to distract them when they encounter challenging dementia behaviour.

Auto Fall Alarm: The alarm can be triggered automatically when it falls and attracts attention in an emergency.

When experiencing a fall, the user could be suffering from a state of shock and may have difficulty in projecting their voice. This auto alarm will help to attract attention and get help from passers-by.

Importance of Mobility Aids:

Social isolation is one of the most significant challenges in the elderly community. There are many instances where the elderly will choose to stay at home and reduce interaction with their friends and neighbours due to their fear of falling as they age. Most of the elderly are aware that carrying a walking stick can significantly reduce their risk of falls but refuse to use one due to the stigma associated with it.  Our aim is to improve the aesthetics and safety features of mobility aids, making them more stylish and sophisticated in the hope that seniors will be more willing to use one.
