One of the major problems for elderly people is falling. These accidents often happen because the elderly person is not able to overcome or react to minor changes in the surface. The surface challenge gives the opportunity to, under safe conditions, train to overcome typical obstacles found in nature and urban environments. Some of the challenges focus on the important toe-lift, either on small obstacles or bigger ones like the curb. Other challenges focus on the ankle and overall foot control. Finally, the different surfaces and materials stimulate sensory feedback which also enhances gait stability.

Quality that lasts
The Robinia bars are made from de-barked and sap free Robinia trunks in various dimensions. Robinia is a native European wood species with high strength and natural durability in various climatic conditions. KOMPAN uses wood from FSC-certified sources.
The stone surface is made from polymer concrete (polyester concrete), which is a mixture of sand, gravel and dust mixed with polyester. The material is five times stronger and more waterproof than ordinary concrete, which guarantees longevity and low maintenance.
Handrail intended as grips during exercises are made of hot-dip galvanised steel ø38mm, a great diameter for a good grip and to support the wrist. The height of the handrail is 940mm from the top of the HPL plate. The distance between the rails is 900mm.
All challenges are mounted on HPL plates of 1396x896x18mm. High-pressure laminate plates (HPL) have a moulded-in non-skid surface and HPL, which are rated as high-wearing materials.
The grass area is 1210x710mm. The grass is tufted, non-filled synthetic grass, which is glued to the HPL plate with Polyurethane adhesive (Henko H400 or H700). The HPL plate has draining holes to remove the water quickly.
The information sign is made of a PA6 (Polyamide) and shows the most relevant exercises. When users scan the QR code, this will link them to an animated illustration of the exercise and offers the possibility of downloading the KOMPAN Fitness App, which is programmed with many more exercise alternatives.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage, from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
