Fall prevention with the G-WEG®

The G-WEG®
our product

A concept to promote movement in old age!

Easy to use and extremely efficient and sustainable. Experience fall prevention with the G-WEG system.

A different approach to fall prevention!

The development
of our G-WEG®

The G-WEG was actually developed as part of the stroke exercise program. Initially, we worked with adhesive strips on the floor to give the patients in our stroke group reference points for stride length and spatial orientation during the various exercise sequences. The aim was to create a training situation that would enable patients to perform the following exercises: isolated gait exercises, simulation of double loading and training in everyday situations.

In order to turn the time-consuming and laborious process of taping the floor into a professional therapeutic aid, we defined clear requirements for a modern system for fall prevention measures and effective anti-fall training.

An overview

Fall prevention in detail

Always the same reproducibility to ensure exercises under consistent conditions

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 patients to move fluidly

Elimination of any risk of tripping

Can also be used with aids such as rollators and walking sticks

Combining cognitive and motor skills
(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 challenging

High practicability

Easy transportation

Everyday and friendly appearance (especially for people with dementia)

Little time required for preparation and assembly

This gave rise to the G-WEG®

The ideal companion
for your facility

Despite being 6 meters long and 1.20 meters wide, this therapeutic gait mat is very easy to transport, set up and take down in its own bag. The G-WEG is non-slip and abrasion-resistant and is characterized by its durability. All markings and contrasts are clearly visible even with age-related impaired vision.

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, which is centered on senior citizens, trains muscle strength, balance, memory and language at the same time.

Scientificallyproven

The G-WEG system provides an impetus for more courage to move in everyday care. The G-WEG can also show what it can do when it comes to preventing falls. The effectiveness of the G-WEG was confirmed in a controlled study in a bachelor's thesis (T. Barthel, L. Sommer, Institute Director C. Reinsberger 2017) at the Institute of Sports Medicine at Paderborn University.

The joy of movement

Training &
Methodology

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

With the help of HuGO, the individual exercises are illustrated 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 you through the different levels of difficulty.

Exercise must be fun and neither too challenging nor too demanding. Using these easy-to-apply methods, fall prevention training can be implemented intuitively and effectively in the care of physically impaired people.

Successfullymastering everyday life at

With the joy of movement, everyday situations are practised together to give those affected more independence, safety and a better sense of self-worth.

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 people in need of care.

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

Maintaining and promoting mobility in the care and support of people in need of care is increasingly becoming one of the fundamental points in order to reduce the high follow-up costs for the healthcare system on the one hand and, of course, to maintain quality of life in old age on the other.

What makes the G-WEG system special

The G-WEG system also includes a clearly laid out card index box with the methodology 2.0 containing 98 methodology and exercise cards. Would you like to find out more...

Efficient fall prevention

Benefits &
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 gait mat for fall prevention with a length of 6 meters and a width of 1.20 meters. The design corresponds to a grid of cobblestones and grass surfaces in bright, friendly colors. Thanks to its length, it allows exercisers to move smoothly through an extended gait path on the individual fields. Two people can comfortably walk side by side, even with a rollator. The G-WEG system is therefore perfect for use in therapy and care facilities to prevent falls.

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 takes up 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 recognize the fields. Of course, walking aids such as walking sticks and rollators can be used for training. All in all, the G-WEG is very challenging and encourages people to enjoy anti-fall training.
