"Does it work? It certainly does! I feel I have aged 40 years just putting the suit on. I will have a lot more patience with elderly people. You can really see how they can't go through doors or get on buses very well. I think it is a very useful insight which we would probably all benefit from these days".
Thomas Moore, Sky News Healthcare correspondent, while in the Mobilistrictor™
"It's a fantastic idea. To really experience, say visual or hearing loss, you have to take away that sense. It's the same type of theory here. To actually understand what it's like to be without mobility, you have to take it away. The awareness both for practitioners and everybody how difficult it can be to live with reduced mobility is real progress."
A spokeswoman for Help the Aged.
"I was surprised how long it took for me to figure out how to do normal tasks. It will certainly help me to think about the structural aspects of our hospital projects in the future".
A structural engineer who wore the suit.
"The understanding of people in the building is the key. Architects can get closer to better understanding of the real users of our designs. The suit enables us to do just that. It enables us to better understand the process of how carers perform their care".
