Kookmin University's LINC 3.0 project group announced on June 21 that it has completed the 'Visit+Rehab,' a customized health rehabilitation service for the elderly, which was held from June to August.

Visit+Rehab, which means 'customized health rehabilitation service that goes to the community,' is a program led by Professor Jeon Jeon-hyun of Kookmin University's Department of Sports Health and Rehabilitation and Community Mutual Benefit Researcher Shim Hyun to improve the health of local seniors, and was designed to realize a sports rehabilitation welfare society in Seongbuk-gu, a happy city for the elderly.

The students and Professor JiHyun Chun visited the Jeongneung Silver Welfare Center and the Hallul Pathway Hall in Jeongneung to provide the local elderly with easy-to-repeat exercises to improve their health and quality of life, such as the 'Foot Health UP, Muscle Strength UP Exercise Class' to prevent falls, which occur most often among the elderly.

Park Hyo-won, a student at Kookmin University's Department of Sports Health and Rehabilitation, who participated in Visit+Rehab, said, “It was great to share my knowledge and practical skills learned at school with the local elderly, and I was proud to have spent a meaningful summer vacation.”

“The Foot Health UP, Muscle Strength UP exercise class is a differentiated program of the Department of Sports Health and Rehabilitation at Kookmin University that helps the elderly maintain an independent life and improve their quality of life,” said Jeon Jeon-hyun, a professor in the Department of Sports Health and Rehabilitation at Kookmin University.
