Fall prevention thought differently!

The genesis 
of our G-WEG®

In fact, the G-WEG came into being in the context of stroke sports. Initially, we worked with adhesive strips on the floor to give the patients in our stroke group clues about step length and spatial orientation during the different exercise sequences. The aim was to create a training situation that would allow the patient to practise the following: isolated gait exercises, the simulation of double loading and the training of everyday situations.

In order to create a professional therapeutic aid out of the time-consuming and tedious taping of the floor, we defined clear requirements for a modern system for fall prevention measures and for effective anti-fall training.
Overview

Fall prevention in detail

Always the same reproducibility to ensure exercises under constant circumstances
The markings and contrasts on the surface had to be conspicuous and clearly visible
Distinction through simplicity
Many fields on the surface to extend the gait distance and allow the patient a fluid gait movement
Elimination of any risk of tripping
Use also with assistive devices such as rollators and walking sticks
Verbindung von kognitiven und motorischen Fähigkeiten 
(Dual-Task Training)
Strengthening the "we-feeling" in the group
Can be used by groups of different strengths and individuals
Active health promotion for people in need of care
Highly stimulating character
High practicability
Easy to transport
Everyday and friendly appearance (especially for people with dementia)
Little time required for preparation and assembly
This resulted in G-WEG®

The ideal companion 
for your institution

Despite its 6-metre length and 1.20-metre width, this therapeutic carpet is very easy to transport as well as to set up and take down in its own bag. The G-WEG is slip and abrasion resistant and is characterised by its durability. All markings and contrasts are very well visible even with age-related impaired eyesight.

At the heart of the G-WEG system are the 98 method and exercise cards, which are color-coded according to difficulty and are self-explanatory. The movement approach centered on senior citizens trains muscle strength, balance, memory and language at the same time.

proven

Das G-WEG System setzt einen Impuls für mehr Mut zur Bewegung im Pflegealltag. Auch bei der Sturzprävention kann der G-WEG zeigen, was er kann. In einer Bachelor Arbeit (T. Barthel, L. Sommer, Institutsleitung C. Reinsberger 2017) des sportmedizinischen Institutes der Universität Paderborn wurde durch eine kontrollierte Studie die Wirksamkeit des G-WEGs bestätigt.

Our G-WEG system is now already used in over 260 therapy locations throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Would you like to read more about the development of the G-WEG?

Joy to movement

Training &
Methodik

Training with the G-WEG system brings joy to movement.

With the help of HuGO, the individual exercises are presented clearly and lovingly on the exercise and methodology cards. Even people without a background in movement therapy can easily follow the practical exercises. A traffic light system guides through the different levels of difficulty.

Exercise must be fun and must neither under- nor over-challenge. With these easy-to-use methods, training for fall prevention can be implemented intuitively and effectively in the care of physically impaired people.

Successfully mastering
everyday life

With the joy of movement, everyday situations are practised together in order to give those affected more independence, security and a better self-esteem.

The fear of a fall accident can thus be effectively taken away from users of the G-WEG system.

Demographic change presents our society with new challenges. In the future, we will have to focus more on mobility training in care, the needs and health maintenance of older people and those in need of care.

Promoting and maintaining mobility
In order to be able to cope with everyday life in old age, the following abilities should still be manageable: overcoming a step, being able to turn the head to the left and right while walking, being able to cover a distance of 300 metres on foot.

The preservation and promotion of mobility in care and the care of persons in need of care is increasingly becoming one of the fundamental points in order to reduce the high follow-up costs for the health care system on the one hand and, of course, to preserve the quality of life in old age on the other hand.

The special feature of the G-WEG system

The G-WEG system also includes a clearly laid out card box with methodology 2.0, which contains 98 methodology and exercise cards. You would like to learn more...

Efficient fall prevention

Benefit &
Use

The G-WEG system enables efficient fall prevention with maximum functionality and minimum effort and is used in a wide variety of facilities!

The G-WEG is a therapeutic carpet for fall prevention measures with a length of 6 metres and a width of 1.20 metres. The design corresponds to a grid of cobblestones and grass surfaces in bright, friendly colours. Due to its length, it allows exercisers to move smoothly by extending their gait on the individual squares. Two people can comfortably sit next to each other, even with a rollator. The G-WEG system is thus perfectly suited for use in fall prevention in therapy and care facilities.

The therapeutic gait mat is both abrasion-resistant and non-slip, easy to clean and particularly durable. With the help of the accompanying bag, it is easy to transport, convenient to pack and unpack and requires very little storage space. The applied fields and markings are close to everyday life and rich in contrast.

Even patients with age-related visual impairment can easily recognise the fields. Of course, walking aids such as walking sticks and rollators can be used on it. All in all, the carpet has a high stimulating character and encourages anti-fall training with pleasure.
