Ageing Age Stimulate Suit

Question: Describe about the Ageing for Age Stimulate Suit. Answer: 1: In this context a student named Raymond, who was in the mid 20s, experienced the effect of aging stimulation suit in order to understand the complications or limitations faced by an aged individual with age. The normal physiological changes experienced by Raymond were the problems in walking or any other movement and changes in the grip ability. Moreover, this suit caused impairment of his vision. The most significant problem faced by Raymond was the hardship in walking down and climbing the staircase and the suit changed the bodys coordination. According to Armstrong et al. (2014), evidence reveal that the suit has been designed in such a way that the exoskeleton of the suit is fitted with sensors that monitor the joints such as legs, hips, arms, etc. that provide mechanical resistance. The resistance leads top slowing down of an individual (Aging Simulation slowing down of a Suit (with Raymond and Irene), 2016). Additional to this, Raymond experienced other physiological modifications such as drinking problem, bending problem due to stiffness caused by the attire, dressing problem and also folding his legs while sitting. The observation of the students action reflects that he had reduced tactile perception. His walking was slow due to restriction in the joint mobility. It was also observed that Raymond felt the loss of strength while washing hand and pressing the water purifier due to loss of strength. Moreover, the due to postural weakness, restriction in bending the spine, the student has also been observed to bend side wise to pick up stuff (Rahrer, 2013). The abnormal physiological changes that occurred in this context with Raymond were caused by impairments of the sensorimotor which is also seen in the old age. As stated by Salthouse (2016), the age stimulation suit caused an elevation in the mental load. Thus, the student had uncertainty in the movement, poor perception and fear of falling down especially while riding down the stairs. Moreover, the hearing and vision impairment caused a problem in reading, writing and also caused him to think that the chocolate was not good in taste. According to Pavlov experiment of reflex action is a result of the visual conditioning. This was almost absent in this case, and so Raymond could reciprocate well after the consumption of chocolate (Rahrer, 2013). 2: Whitbourne (2012), with the progression of the age, the physiological changes that occur cause decrease in several functions of the body system. Regarding this context, Mrs. Irene was an aged woman with 86 years of age. As observed Mrs. Irene had many problems associated with her age. The first problem noticed was the complications which she experienced while climbing and walking down the staircase. She reported that climbing and down the stairs causes pain in her knee area which occurred due to loss of strength in her bones and flexibility of her muscles. Secondly, she also experienced spine pain and thus she reported that she takes rest on getting tired. Gordon Hegedus Tam (2013), physical fitness refers to body strength, ability, and resilience. In this case, Mrs. Irene felt like taking rest as she reported due to lack of physical fitness and even she required water to engulf the chocolate which made her swallowing of food easy. The observations show that she has lost the elasticity of the skin, and developed more wrinkles. This happens since in old age the oil glands reduce regarding oil production, making the skin drier. With the advancement in the age, the kidney also reduces in its function. Thus one requires having plenty of water in order to remove the waste more efficiently. This action was applied by Mrs. Irene while consumption of the chocolate (Whitbourne, 2012). When an individual grows old, he or she increases the risk of chronic disease. As it was reported by Mrs. Irene, she underwent few operations such as ovarian cyst, appendix, heart bypass surgery, etc. Mrs. Irene also had a problem in chewing the chocolate due to tooth destruction. As discussed by Baker LeBlanc (2014), the abnormal physiological changes observed in her were decreased in the cognitive development which was revealed from the facts during her interview where she remained lost or confused in answering to any question. Moreover, while eating or walking, she required assistance. This reflects that as like other individuals Mrs. Irena's behavior also changed with the advancement of aging (Aging Simulation Suit (with Raymond and Irene), 2016). 3: There were several aspects which were not as it was expected. The first aspect was that although Raymond was a young individual the pressure of suit made him remain more exhausted than that of Mrs. Irena. Secondly, while Raymond did not like the taste of the chocolate, Mrs. Irena liked the taste of the chocolate. This might be because of a certain psychological factor that developed due to the wearing of the suit. Thirdly, Mrs. Irena found it easier to bend, wearing shoe and cloth than Raymond (Rodin, 2014). Fourthly, according to the record Raymond found it easier to climb the stairs than moving down. He states that although he was physically tired, mentally he was relaxed. While moving down the stairs, he sensed a feeling of fear which probably was due to the load of the suit and restrictions in movement. On the contrary, Mrs. Irena found both the ways difficulty due to a knee problem. Lastly, while reading and writing Raymond experienced more problems due to visionary obstruction than Mrs. Irena. Therefore, he had to keep the book or paper close to him while reading or writing. While Mrs. Irena read and wrote with more ease. As discussed by Armstrong et al. (2014), the consequences reflect the fact that although natural aging leads to several impairments and mutilations, it differs to a great extent from that of technical tools such as age stimulate suit (Aging Simulation Suit (with Raymond and Irene), 2016).
