"We chose HUR equipment because it is quiet, requires little space and has a friendlier, less machine-like appearance." -Naoki Inoue, Director
Taijukai, a rehabilitation center for senior citizens, is a social welfare corporation owned by several different nursing homes. The center, located in Saitama Prefecture near Tokyo, was founded in 1994 and has been successfully using HUR since 2003.
We chose HUR equipment because it is quiet, requires little space and has a friendlier, less machine-like appearance. The average age of users in the rehabilitation center is 80. In our experience the equipment has proven to be very effective. Those of our clients who were able to walk now walk even more briskly, and several who arrived in wheelchairs have left here walking -Naoki Inoue, Director
The Finlandia Village in Queensland, Australia

"We chose HUR FCM Rehabilitation Line equipments as they are specially designed for senior training” says Ruth Baxter, the Manager of Finlandia Village.
The Finlandia Village in Queensland, Australia is a Residential Aged care and home facility for Scandinavian born seniors in Australia. In 2006 the facility was developing their model of care and wanted to improve their Falls Prevention program. Of course the basic aim was to improve their residents’ independence.
“Machines used in strength training of senior citizens must not only be effective but also safe and easy to use. The ability to make all adjustments without getting off the machine, the ease to get in and out of the machine, quietness and measurement features are one of the main reasons why HUR machines are suitable for our purposes. Our residents as well as our own personnel have really been enjoying the machines and I am pleased to tell that by using HUR machines our residents have reported improvements with their incontinence” explains Ms. Baxter.
