    OCTABAND 8 LEG

    $59.95

    The Octaband&#174 is used effectively with groups of all ages and abilities, but was originally designed for use with the elderly with physical and cognitive challenges in long term settings. It has proven to be a very effective tool for stimulating cohesive and joyous group movement activities. The elderly tend to love the bright colors and satisfying texture, the loops for grasping, as well as the shape of the Octaband&#174

    • extends to 78″
    • for use by 2 to 8 people
    • weighs 10 oz
    • made of 80% nylon and 20% spandex
    • machine wash cold, line dry

    The video below shows the Octaband&#174 being enjoyed by children as well as an elderly group, and suggests just some of the ways it can be used.

    Description

    Using the Octaband&#174

    There are unlimited ways to use the Octaband&#174. For safety, when using it the first time with a group, start with a simple activity. Some initial activities include:

    • Slowly and creatively move the arms to music
    • Play “Simon Says”
    • Move as a group while maintaining the shape of the circle

    Be sure to monitor all activities carefully. Groups should be supervised at all times when using the Octaband&#174

    Use the Octaband&#174 on both arms or on one arm at a time. Encourage caregivers, family, and others to participate. Accompany the activity with upbeat music, something the members of your group will recognize. Move to the music and watch each participant focus attention on you. Your group will be watching you for cues, so be lively and have fun. Slow, controlled movements are more important (and safer) than fast movements.

    Once a group is familiar with and comfortable using the Octaband&#174, use your imagination to come up with more activities. Different groups will have different abilities and dynamics, and will enjoy different activities. Be creative, and ask for (and watch for) suggestions.


    In addition to being just plain fun, the following are some of the benefits derived from using the Octaband&#174

    • Can be used by people of all ages and abilities
    • Increases self-expression
    • Builds awareness of others
    • Encourages cooperation
    • Magnifies recognition of one’s effect on others
    • Promotes group cohesion
    • Provides focus for attention
    • Heightens spontaneity
    • Enhances liveliness
    • Invites a playful environment
    • Reinforces resilience
    • Stimulates imagination
    • Increases alertness
    • Furthers individuality and creativity

    WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

    • Wow! This is all so new to us. My mother in law came to live with us 3 months ago with stage 3 alzheimers. I am the major caregiver, bathing, feeding, meals, laundry, meds, activities but my husband is getting better at helping. I found your site when a friend suggested “toys for Alzheimer’s” and will definitely be coming back for more. Thank you for all the links and great products too. Paula
