How to make rehabilitating more fun
The Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital in Utrecht, Netherlands, introduced a rooftop sports facility to provide a momentary escape for ill children. The children inaugurated the sports cage with the mayor of Zanen and ice-skating legend Jochem Uytdehaage present. George, a young boy in a wheelchair, initiated the National Sportsweek by throwing a ball at the Lappset Sutu Interactive ball wall Interactive wall, opening the sports cage.
Making rehabilitating more fun
Jochem Uytdehaage: “Through smart technology used in these playsets, you not only make playing and rehabilitating more fun and challenging, but you can also check the results as they are measured, which inspires competitivity. That’s very motivating and helps stimulate the rehabilitation process at the hospital, but also inspires healthy giddy-ness in children.” Playing and sporting aren’t just nice to forget about the worries for a minute but also add to the fitness and health. The Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital and Yalp will work together to utilize the interactive playsets in other rehabilitation projects.
After the opening, a few kids, like Iris and her father (seen in the photo), went to play. Her reaction after a game on the Sutu:” Can we go again, Dad!”
