Usofa udinga ukuhlala isikhathi eside, uthandeke ngobuhle, kube lula ukuwunakekela, unethezekile, futhi ube nokuphakama kwesihlalo okulungiselelwe. Yumeya’osofa bezihlalo eziphezulu (isb, 475–485 mm) zinikeza ubude obufanele obugunyazwe i-American Geriatrics Society.

Lo mhlahlandlela uzohamba nawe ekuqondeni isidingo osofa abahlezi phezulu abantu abadala , ehlanganisa ubude obufanele, izici eziyinhloko, ubukhulu, isabelomali, nohlu lwezinhlobo ezifanele. Ake sitholele osofa abasezingeni eliphezulu abalungele abadala!

Kungani Abantu Abadala Badinga Osofa Abahlala Phambili?

Ukuguga kungase kuphazamise imisipha. Ukulahlekelwa kwemisipha kuqala eneminyaka engu-30, nokulahlekelwa 3-8%  yesisindo semisipha yabo ngeshumi leminyaka. Lesi yisimo esingenakugwemeka. Ngakho-ke, abantu abadala abaneminyaka engu-60 nangaphezulu bangase babe nokucindezeleka okuphawulekayo emadolweni nasezinqulwini lapho besuka lapho behlezi beya endaweni yokuma.

Ngokuhambisana nokusetshenziswa kwamasofa ahlezi phezulu ukulwa nokulahleka kwemisipha okuhlobene nobudala, nazi ezinye izizathu zokuzicabangela kubantu abadala.:

• Ithuthukisa Ukuhamba Nokuzimela:  Ucwaningo olwanyatheliswa kuyi-Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy lwathola ukuthi abantu abadala abangaphezu kwabane kwabahlanu bakuthola kunzima ukusukuma esihlalweni esinobude obuphansi. Ukuphakama okuhloniphekile kwenza kube lula kakhulu kubantu abadala ukuthi basukume lapho behlezi, kunciphisa ubunzima ezinqulwini nasemadolweni.
• Yehlisa Umsebenzi Womzimba Wabanakekeli:  Emiphakathini ehlala abantu abadala, abanakekeli kuzodingeka basize kakhulu uma ukuphakama kukasofa kungekho ngaphakathi kwezilinganiso ezinconyiwe.
• Ithuthukisa Ukuphepha:  Ngenkathi bezabalaza ukuma, abantu abadala basengozini yezingozi eziningi, okuhlanganisa ukuwa, ukulahlekelwa ibhalansi, okungaholela emithelela efenisha, nokuqina kwemisipha noma ukulimala kwamalunga. Osofa abahlezi phezulu bangasiza ekunciphiseni ingozi yokuwa noma yokulimala okungenzeka uma uzama ukuphuma ezihlalweni eziphansi.
• Ikhuthaza induduzo: Ukuphakama okufanele kuvumela umsebenzisi ukuthi ahlale ngokuqinile ngokuma okungcono. Kunciphisa ukungakhululeki okuhambisana nokuhlala isikhathi eside, okuyinto evamile kubantu abadala.

●  Ikhwalithi Eyakhiwe Ngozimele

Ozimele bensimbi yibo abanconywa kakhulu ezindaweni ezinevolumu ephezulu. Esimeni sendawo yokuhlala yabadala, ifreyimu idinga ukuqina, njengoba abasebenzisi abaningi bazoyisebenzisa. Imikhiqizo efana nefenisha Yumeya inamafreyimu aqinile angakwazi ukuphatha izisindo ezingamakhilogremu angu-500 noma ngaphezulu. Ukusetshenziswa kwe-German Tiger Powder Coating, ukugqoka kwe-robotic yaseJapane, futhi ikakhulukazi isakhiwo sokusanhlamvu sokhuni kuyizinkomba zekhwalithi ephezulu.

●  Umqamelo

I-cushioning iyisihluthulelo sokunethezeka kanye nesimo se-ergonomic. I-Cushioning esebenzisa igwebu eliphakathi nendawo ukuya kophezulu (cishe ama-30-65 kg/m³) ilungele abadala. Isivivinyo esilula sekhwalithi ephezulu yizinga eliphezulu lokutakula. Uma umcamelo ululama okungenani u-95% wokwakheka kwawo kwasekuqaleni phakathi nomzuzu ngemva kokususwa kwengcindezi, khona-ke wenziwa ngegwebu eliphezulu.
