1
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Welcome back,

2
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,160
and in this video,

3
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,520
we're going to dress Meghan up in an age
related suit so she gets to experience

4
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,000
what it feels like when they're elderly
and their movement is restricted.

5
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,840
So now we're going to
dress Meghan in the suit,

6
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,360
so she gets to experience
what it feels like being an elderly lady,

7
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,440
and we're going to start off
with the feet.

8
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,120
OK, so if you could step your foot

9
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,120
in there, fabulous thank you.

10
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,960
And we need to make sure
that that's round there tight.

11
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Is that OK?

12
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,440
Yes, fine.

13
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,400
If I can put your other one on.

14
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,800
Thank you.

15
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Right.

16
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,080
They will tuck under the so don't worry

17
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,760
about them, you won't trip up.

18
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Yeah, so they feel secure.

19
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Right, so the next thing that I need to do
and this is heavy

20
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,400
is these are going to get wrapped
around your ankles. OK.

21
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:13,440
I just

22
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,480
feed that through there.

23
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,040
Does that feel OK? Heavy.

24
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,520
Yeah.

25
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,960
So what's happening here now

26
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,680
is these weights that are going around
your ankles will restrict your movement.

27
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,600
OK, so it'll make it difficult
for you to move than what you're used to,

28
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,240
which will represent
what it's like to be elderly.

29
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,400
How's that feel? That OK?

30
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,400
Yeah, heavy.

31
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,600
Really heavy.

32
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:46,680
So the next thing that we need to do now

33
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,320
is we wrap these around your knees, OK?

34
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,840
And again, it's just going to restrict
that movement in your knees.

35
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,840
So so far, you should have foot
restriction and restriction.

36
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:00,320
And now we're moving to your knees. OK.

37
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,000
So is that restricitng?

38
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,880
Yeah. Does that feel, OK?

39
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:16,200
so we'll do your other knee.

40
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,720
Put that around there,

41
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:29,160
and that one around there, so I just want
to remind you with the age suit.

42
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,760
you are instantly going to feel like
an elderly lady.

43
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,680
This is going to be a gradual process

44
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,720
where you will feel the effects
straight away.

45
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:38,200
That's not how it would impact.

46
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,040
OK, so what we're going to do now
is we're going to move onto your wrists

47
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,000
and the wrist movement will represent
arthritis and not being able to

48
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,520
to move.

49
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Again,

50
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,880
these are heavy, but it's again
it's to restrict that movement,

51
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,480
so you get a full feeling of what
it's like.

52
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:08,440
Right.

53
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,840
So what I'm going to do now
is I'm going to do your elbows.

54
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,080
And again,
that just restricts that movement.

55
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,840
And then I am going to put on

56
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,960
the body suit, but just a warning
it is going to be heavy.

57
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,840
Round there. I'll

58
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,720
come to the other side.

59
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,440
So as I said,
this one is incredibly heavy.

60
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,200
So this is going to feel on your chest
as well as your back,

61
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000
which will simulate difficulty
breathing as well.

62
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,360
OK, so you ready?

63
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,840
OK, if we could just put your head
through for me.

64
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Yeah, how's it feel?

65
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,320
Heavy, heavy?

66
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,840
So what's the first feeling
that's coming into your mind?

67
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,400
It's like you're being weighed down,

68
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,360
I just want to sit down,
I don't want to stand up.

69
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,560
Struggling to lift your arm?

70
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,400
So already you're getting to experience

71
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,800
what it's like for somebody elderly.

72
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,080
So that's the whole body's so on now.

73
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,200
So I'm just going to put
one more around your neck.

74
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,240
And then I'm going to put some ear phones
on which will affect your hearing.

75
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:35,160
And then we're going
to put the Age-Related glasses on

76
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,600
and I'm going to ask you to sit down.

77
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,800
All right. Yeah, fine.

78
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,040
So we're just going to put this neck
brace on

79
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,760
and then that will restrict your movement
so you won't be able to look around

80
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,160
as much, just move your hair out

81
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,240
the way.

82
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,840
These earphones, what they're going to do
is they're going to muffle your hearing,

83
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,680
so as we get older, the little hairs
that are inside your ears,

84
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:02,640
which helps transfer the voice down
do break and snap off.

85
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,880
So we can get Age-Related, hearing loss so

86
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,960
this will just simulate that.

87
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Can you hear me?

88
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,760
Yeah, well, yeah,

89
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,800
I can hear my heart beat.

90
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Right, OK. All right.

91
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,080
These glasses age related glasses.

92
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,240
So this is what it's going to be like
if you've got cataracts there you go,

93
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:29,680
Oh, wow, yeah.

94
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,920
So Meghan is now
currently dressed in the age related suit,

95
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,360
which has got a heavy waisted

96
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,040
belt so she can feel
the restriction in the chest,

97
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,440
and it will also restrict the movement.

98
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,400
She's got weights around her
ankles and wrists as well,

99
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,960
which can represent arthritis
where the elderly have difficulty moving.

100
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,920
OK, we've got age glasses,
so Meghan's now actually been able

101
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,960
to see what it looks like.

102
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,520
If we've got cataracts
and we've muffles her hearing as well.

103
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:02,880
OK, so would you like to take a sit down?

104
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,080
Yeah.

105
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:15,840
Oh. You're actually making the noises

106
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,040
of an elderly person
when they're going to sit down.

107
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,320
Did you realize that?

108
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,400
No, no.

109
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,640
So how hard was it to sit down?

110
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,960
It's tiring. Tiring? yeah, very right.

111
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:34,080
Do you want to stand up
and say how difficult it is standing up.

112
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,680
You was a little bit unsteady

113
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:42,680
on your feet there is that because
your movements restricted, do you think?

114
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,240
I think so.

115
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,280
It feels like I'm
not in control of my body.

116
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,360
I feel really tired.

117
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,080
OK, so that's a few times that you said
you feel tired.

118
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,920
Do you think that's due to the weight?

119
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,080
Yeah, definitely.

120
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,320
Yeah. So do you feel that you could
empathize now?

121
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Yeah.

122
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,320
Like you just don't realize you
take certain things for granted.

123
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,800
And then when you actually
put in the position, I can't imagine it.

124
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,080
Well, we all get that one day.

125
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,560
But now at least that you can empathize
with a service user

126
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,040
when we're asking them
to get up and get out of bed,

127
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,560
that actually just take that bit longer
to be able to do that.

128
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,800
So we've just done a demonstration
with a learner Meghan with the age

129
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,360
related suit to show and demonstrate
what it feels like when they're elderly.

130
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,360
So Meghan has being kitted out

131
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,680
with weight restrictions,
which can represent arthritis.

132
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,680
Meghan had said that she was tired,
which could relate

133
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,840
to cardiovascular or breathing conditions,

134
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,480
which they elderly people
unfortunately do experience.

135
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,400
And this all links in nicely
to the human growth and development unit

136
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,440
that this study in health and social care.

137
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,520
And it also helps

138
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,360
with placement.
