Are these new types of handrail walking MATS friendly to the elderly?

The new type of handrail walking mat is very friendly to the elderly, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Handrail design
Multi-layer handrails: The multi-layer handrail design is adopted to meet the needs of the elderly for handrails of different heights. The elderly can choose the appropriate handrail height according to their own height and habits.
Ergonomic handrails: The handrails are wrapped in soft materials, providing a comfortable grip and reducing fatigue caused by prolonged use.
Intelligent sensing handrail: Equipped with built-in sensors, it can monitor in real time whether the user is holding the handrail. If the user releases the handrails during exercise, the treadmill will automatically slow down or stop to prevent accidents.
Widened and reinforced handrails: The handrail section has been widened and reinforced to make it more stable for the elderly when walking and reduce the risk of falls.

2. Design of walking MATS
Anti-slip and wear-resistant surface: The surface of the walking mat is made of anti-slip and wear-resistant materials to increase friction and ensure that the elderly can remain stable at any speed.
Multi-layer buffer design: By adopting a multi-layer buffer design, it can effectively absorb the impact force during movement and reduce the pressure on the joints.
High-grade material running belt: The running belt is made of high-grade materials, which are wear-resistant and durable. Even after long-term use, it is not easy to be damaged. The width of the running belt is moderate, providing sufficient space for the elderly to feel comfortable and at ease when walking or jogging on it.

 

3. Integrated design
Integrated handrails and walking MATS: The design of handrails and walking MATS is more integrated, forming an organic whole, reducing distractions during movement and allowing users to focus more on their exercise.
Intelligent feedback system: Equipped with an intelligent feedback system, it can monitor the user’s movement data in real time, such as walking speed and heart rate, and provide feedback through the display screen on the handrail or the mobile phone application.

4. Safety and comfort
One-key emergency stop button: Equipped with a one-key emergency stop button, in case of an accident, the elderly can quickly press the button and the machine will immediately stop running to ensure safety.
Side handrail sensor: Side handrail sensor + electronic lock automatic power-off function. As long as the hand leaves the handrail for more than 3 seconds, the machine will automatically slow down and stop, completely avoiding the risk of accidental falls.
Large font display screen: The control panel adopts a large font + high-contrast LED display screen, making data such as blood pressure, heart rate, and calorie consumption clear at a glance, which is convenient for the elderly to view.

5. Psychological care
Elderly-friendly design: From fall prevention to psychological care design innovations, the color and texture of handrails need to create a home-like atmosphere and reduce the elderly’s resistance to facilities with an overly strong “medical feel”.
In conclusion, the new type of handrail walking mat has fully taken into account the needs of the elderly in its design. From the height, material, and intelligent sensing of the handrail, to the anti-slip, cushioning, and wear-resistant properties of the walking mat, as well as the overall safety and comfort design, it provides a more friendly and convenient usage experience for the elderly.
