For almost 50 years, ARJO has been involved in the development of equipment and working techniques within elderly care, focusing on mobility issues and always with both the carer and resident in mind. Some years ago, ARJO developed the Mobility Gallery, a communication tool based on five different levels of functional mobility: from totally mobile and independent residents, to those who are entirely bedridden.

In the Mobility Gallery residents are classified according to their degree of functional mobility. From the most mobile to the most dependent resident, you can recognise them by their alphabetical names: Albert, Barbara, Carl, Doris and Emma. Each resident is described with different personal characteristics and background details.

The Mobility Gallery is now detailed in a new 72-page booklet produced by Arjo. The booklet introduces each of the 21 characters who are used in the Mobility Gallery across the five different care settings. For more information about ordering a copy of this booklet, click here. 

ARJO has also developed a Mobility Gallery relating to bariatric residents - the Bariatric Gallery.
