Movement as a foundation for learning - Medical / Health Care
Children’s academic performance is closely linked to their ability to learn. Exploration is a vital part of the learning process, and young people can explore their world through the ability to move. Movement shows profound impact on learning, as well as providing a great sense of fun and a feeling of inclusion. Physical activity improves health, and healthier young people are likely to have better attendance in school. Children with complex disabilities often have limited opportunities for physical activity, and should be empowered to move. Assistive devices make movement possible for all, and should be considered as a means of access to learning.
Physical activity during childhood has been shown to improve academic performance, and learning through movement is an effective strategy for school children.
The World Health Organisation recommends that school age children should:
- Achieve 60 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
- Incorporate vigorous-intensity aerobic activities, as well as those that strengthen muscle and bone
- Limit the amount of time spent being sedentary
The Innowalk PRO is a unique, adjustable solution that enables young people with moderate to profound physical disabilities to access movement and physical activity during the school day. It provides safe, guided, repetitive movement by supporting the body in an upright position, offering optimal weight-bearing and dynamic standing.
Innowalk PRO empowers school staff to motivate and engage pupils, while reducing sedentary activity and promoting positional changes in a way that is stimulating, safe and enjoyable. It is easily transported and adjusted for use with individual pupils of varying size and ability, maximising opportunities for participation and inclusion for all.
