The new rehabilitation devices of Paramount Bed, a pioneer of medical beds, was displayed during an exhibition in the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.
"In order to solve the problem of Japan's ageing population, Paramount Bed proposes welfare equipment around the bed and equipment for nursing care. By combining different types of cushion and folding them to adjust their height, the patient's posture can be maintained," said Kiyotaka Koike of Paramount Bed.
It is an auxiliary tool to keep a patient's posture in bed or sitting down for a long time. This is the device that helps patients in training to walk. Also, it measures pressure on the soles of the feet as they are recovering, making it easier to check the right way to walk.
"Paramount Bed promotes and sells medical equipment, primarily hospital beds, to more than 100 counties around the world. Due to high demand in Japan, our product development is increasingly focused on rehabilitation devices.
Demand for rehabilitation, devices are increasing in Asia, in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and India. We would like to introduce our technology and knowledge of our rehabilitation devices to the global market, especially Asian countries, so that patients would recover more quickly from disabilities arising from injury or sickness," it added.
ISPRM 2019 showcased latest rehabilitation devices held here. Many companies from the countries across the globe are participating in the event especially the rehabilitation field is attracting more attention all over the world because of society with an increasing population of aged people.
