Nursing homes have always been a place for older adults to go when they cannot care for themselves any longer. It is very important that residents in these facilities maintain as much independent function as possible to avoid further medical setbacks. Walking is perhaps the most important activity to maintain independence as it reduces muscle weakness in both the upper extremities and the lower extremities, improve balance, physical endurance, lateral stability, and reduce pain. This is why many nursing homes are now using an ambulatory device or walking device to help older adults mobilize. In addition there are other assistive devices that can often assist older adults with standing up and transferring and performing their daily activities more efficiently. Unfortunately up until now there has not been any mobility devices (mobility aids) on market that can act both as walking aids and transfer aids for those needing assistance.
The A.R.M.M., is an innovative device designed to assist people with ambulation training and transferring. The A.R.M.M. simply attaches a wheelchair to a walker to to provide both lateral support (bar to hold on to) and posterior support (wheelchair trailing behind) to the individual walking. This device eliminates the need for additional support to push the wheelchair behind the person walking waking therefore reducing costs and improving independence. The A.R.M.M. is always to be used with support and supervision from a healthcare professional (physical therapist) and should not independently used by anyone without approval from a trusted healthcare professional. This compact and easy to install ambulatory assistive device allows people the ability to walk more frequently, improve their physical therapy (physical rehabilitation) outcomes and maintain their dignity.
The A.R.M.M. is the first ambulatory device to help individuals with walking, transferring and exercise. It has proven to work with parkinson’s disease patients, stroke patients, cancer patients, othropedic patients, amputees and essentially anyone suffering from a disabled physical function and/or cognitive function. Help make your nursing home, long term care and retirement home healthcare staff operate more effectively and safely with the A.R.M.M. ambulatory assistive device.
