PREVENT SRL

The product (STEP-TURN) has been designed primarily for the prevention of falls in the older and fragile persons. It is recommended in companion sectors (sport, exercise, fitness) as well. The device consists of a rotating horizontal disc on which the subject ‘steps in place’ with head and trunk stabilised in space by the grip of a fixed handrail. This device is able to train the rotational movements of the lower limbs that normally occur when walking in curved trajectories and allow the learning (or re- learning) of the underlying neuromuscular coordination. The Trade Mark and the European patent (No. 23169980.2 ) have been granted. The prototype has been produced and tested.
