Fürth Clinic revolutionizes geriatric rehabilitation with new bike labyrinth systems!

There is reason to be happy at the Geriatrics Clinic in Fürth: The facility has received two innovative “Bike Labyrinth” systems worth 10,800 euros, which not only ensure exercise but also mental activity. These modern devices ingeniously combine training and virtual experiences and are particularly well received by patients. The financing of this great purchase was made possible by a large number of donations, with the Society for the Advancement of the Clinic having been actively supporting it for two decades. nn.de reports that the devices offer patients the opportunity to cycle on a stationary bike and travel through familiar places such as downtown Berlin or Lake Constance.

The bike labyrinth not only promotes physical fitness, but also results in a game that trains memory and reaction speed. This is of great importance because creative solutions are required to increase the quality of life of residents with dementia or limited mobility. The response from patients is consistently positive. They experience training as a leisure activity, which increases acceptance and regularity. By cycling in virtual worlds, users can even decide where they want to travel at intersections, which provides variety and orientation. Vidia Clinics emphasizes that such interactions not only strengthen patients' well-being, but also promote social contacts.

Valuable support for geriatric rehabilitation

Professor Dr. Katrin Singler, the clinic's chief physician, emphasizes the importance of the bike labyrinth as a valuable aid in geriatric rehabilitation. The simple controls allow patients to use the devices independently, increasing independence and quality of life. Its use also relieves the burden on nursing staff, as patients receive more support when moving. RBK.de also provides information about projects that aim to promote the health of “young older people”. Solomon, aged 60 to 70, will also benefit from these advances.

Another important project is in the starting blocks: equipping the intensive care unit with the Corpuls CPR resuscitation device. This device enables effective, automatic chest compressions and improves the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Here too, the safety of medical staff is increased, which is particularly advantageous in areas with radiation. The clinical team is asking for donations to ensure funding for this life-saving technology.

All of these initiatives make it clear that the Geriatric Clinic in Fürth operates with a good sense of the needs of its patients. It relies on innovative solutions to promote quality of life and independence for all residents.
