The company, which provides a range of bathing solutions for people with limited mobility, hosted a training demonstration at its factory in the West Midlands, where staff donned a special mobility-suit which simulates the stiff, aching limbs and unsteadiness that arthritis suffers endure. The specialist suit also incorporates scratched goggles and ear muffs to simulate sight and hearing difficulties, plus a neck brace and arm and leg inserts to restrict movement. The suit is regularly used by the company's product development team to help staff understand and experience the physical limitations of the elderly and people with limited mobility, and therefore designs products that are suitable for their needs. Gordon Farmiloe, Managing Director of Premier Care in Bathing, commented: "We all take it for granted that we will live forever and be as strong as we were when we were younger.
