is the Executive Vice President at company HUR in Finland and has many years of
experience in the healthcare technology field.

best solutions possible for preventive, rehabilitative and maintaining

Ms. Karjaluoto has

Health Science Unit,
Kokkola University Consortium Chydenius, Finland.

laboratory for assessment of physical functions and balance.

made with HUR muscle strength and HUR Labs balance

measuring equipment.

 

Testing and evaluating the strength and functional abilities is of
paramount importance when exercising the elderly in a successful way.
Functional evaluation and proper treatment will enhance the ability for senior
citizens to live an independent life. The presentation focuses on functional
evaluation as well as the practical solutions for senior people with help of
case studies from Finland.


The concept has been successfully used in Japan since end of 90’, when
the ageing population exploded rapidly in Japan. Recent new project in Asian
countries is the GymTonic concept in Singapore www.gymtonic.com
, where many nursing homes and daycare centers now use the concept for giving
the elderly the strength day need, for the life they deserve.
