Gliding Prevents Wandering
Wandering is a common side effect associated with dementia. One way to prevent wandering is to give the resident a repetitive activity to perform, such as gliding in the Broda Tranquille Auto-Locking Glider Geri Chair. The physical activity provided by the chair's light rocking also helps by ensuring a good night's sleep.
Gliding Reduces Agitation
Gliding is a non-weight bearing form of exercise that can be particularly beneficial to residents who do not otherwise get the opportunity to exercise often. Not only does this form of exercise reduce blood pressure, but it can help keep depression and stress at bay. Just like a baby being rocked, gliding simulates the feeling of being in the womb. This light form of exercise also helps improve balance, which reduces the risk of falling.
Comfort Tension Seating
Broda's Comfort Tension Seating Suspension System is designed with heavy gauge polyvinyl straps that conform to the patient's unique size and weight, redistributing pressure. With decreased pressure, blood flow and tissue oxygenation are improved, helping to maintain skin integrity and prevent pressure sores.
This innovative design eliminates bottoming out and promotes air circulation. The straps return to their original shape when pressure is removed, which maintains the geri chair's long term durability. The Broda Auto Locking Glider's strapped seating system supports proper positioning of the pelvis, and works well with spine curvature disorders such as kyphosis and lordosis.
