SoundSteps represents a professional tool that can be applied in the health care sector, e.g. in rehabilitation and physiotherapy centres, in nursing homes and hospitals. It can be used to challenge patients physically and thus develop their motor skills. The degree of physicality required can be set by the therapist or the patient, ranging from simply stepping on the mat to running, jumping and skipping. The SoundSteps product is suitable for anyone who can activate a mat, whether they use their feet or a wheelchair.
SoundSteps also challenges the mind, though, offering action/reaction games, recognition of sounds, maths exercises and even a quiz.
The distance between the mats and the base unit is flexible, as are the number of participants and the pace. SoundSteps can combine exercise with learning at any level.
