This product facilitates a wide range of activities in a small space, allowing participants to perform the same exercise simultaneously. c. Gyms or day centers. Designed for centers with activities aimed at the elderly, such as maintenance gymnastics or similar activities. The advantages are the same as those described in the previous section.
Advantages:
The perfect coupling of all the elements constituting the the overall structure of a cube is the most innovative element of this product. This arrangement of its elements involves much less space, allowing the user to have a reduced environment for physical activity. Many of the modules that make up the UNIT Cube are multifunctional, allowing for a reduction in space and money. The different modules of the product are distinguished by colors, which makes them very easy to recognize. In this way, the use of the system is facilitated, enhancing the memory of the addressees. The exercises allow an improvement in daily activities. For example, the finger ladder improves the handling of cutlery, clothespins or the simple fact of zipping up.
