Hemiparesis simulator

THE SIMULATION OF HEMIPARESIA The partial hemiparesis simulation kit can be worn either on the right or on the left and be used alone or combined with aging simulation elements (hearing helmet, glasses, overshoes, gloves, cervical collar ...). Hemiparesis is a partial deficit of muscle strength affecting the right or left half of the body. It is a motor handicap often due to a stroke. Consequences of a stroke : Loss of motor skills, strength and sensitivity in one arm, one leg, half of the face (deviation of the mouth) or all of one side of the body (hemiplegia). This deficit can be total or partial. In the latter case, we speak of hemiparesis. The consequences are movement disorders due to an increase in muscle tone and muscle reflexes, the sitting and standing stations are very laborious. Speech and muscle swallowing are impaired. This can lead to the affected person not being able to express themselves properly or having difficulty swallowing. The eye muscles are affected, so strabismus and double vision can occur. Coordination problems complicate daily actions. Loss of balance increases the risk of falling. The cane helps you during the weight transfer to move the invalid leg. The arm sling simulates the immobility of the arm glued to the torso due to its muscular hyperspacity, which leads to an imbalance of the body. The eye patch simulates the impairment of unilateral vision. The pacifier simulates speech impairment and muscle swallowing due to unilateral facial paralysis.
