Hemiplegia Simulation Empathy Suit
The Hemiplegia Simulator is expertly designed to provide users with a realistic, hands-on experience of the physical challenges faced by individuals living with hemiplegia.
By replicating key symptoms, this simulator helps healthcare professionals, students, and carers gain a deeper understanding of the condition and build empathy through direct experience.
This training tool is ideal for clinical skills development and enhances educational programmes in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, and medical training.
Key Features:
-
Simulates Left and Right Hemiplegia: Enables users to experience the difference between left-sided and right-sided hemiplegia symptoms.
-
Realistic Gait Impairment: Users can experience common mobility issues such as circumduction gait (rotational walking) and toe-walking, where the heel does not touch the ground.
-
Visual Impairment Simulation: Includes specialised glasses that replicate visual field loss and reduced vision in the left or right eye.
-
Portable and Practical: Comes with a compact carry bag for convenient transport and storage—ideal for use in training sessions, workshops, or classrooms.
What Causes Hemiplegia?
Hemiplegia is paralysis affecting one side of the body, often caused by damage to the brain's motor control centres. It is most commonly seen in patients recovering from a stroke but may also result from other neurological or physical conditions. Understanding the root causes is key to providing effective care and support.
Common Causes of Hemiplegia:
-
Stroke – The most frequent cause, typically resulting in one-sided weakness or paralysis
-
Traumatic Brain Injury – Head injuries from falls or accidents may lead to lasting impairment
-
Cerebral Palsy – A leading cause in children, often due to brain damage before or during birth
-
Brain Tumours – Can affect movement if located near motor control areas
-
Infections – Conditions like encephalitis or meningitis can damage brain tissue
-
Neurological Disorders – Including multiple sclerosis and, rarely, severe migraines
This simulator is designed to help users understand these effects first-hand, enhancing empathy and clinical skills through immersive training.

Works well
If i could give it 4.5 I would but I'm much more inclined to say I'm happy with this product. Really good quality, excellent resource for my vet suturing practice. I have a mild complaint about the silk sutures, they rip/ fray more easily than I hoped, but easily rectified by buying new ones (which are cheap) and also encourages me to be more gentle with my knots. I'm so happy with it and it's a perfect still revising break from studying. Thank you Sim and Skills!!!
Student Feedback: Feedback was gathered from 13 students. Overall, they liked the trainer and would recommend it to their peers for learning blood glucose testing. They found the trainer easy to use and helpful in demonstrating the procedure. The students felt that the trainer added significant value to their training, with the main benefit being an increased competency in blood glucose testing.
Lecturer Feedback: Feedback was collected from 7 lecturers. Most of them found the trainer to be authentic and effective in simulating the challenges of blood sugar testing. They appreciated that it encouraged patient communication, which is a great plus. The product was of good quality and reliable for teaching purposes. However, there was a minor issue with the finger becoming leaky after multiple uses. Despite this, the lecturers agreed that the trainer prepares students well for real-world blood glucose testing.
Excellent service and speedy delivery. Highly recommended
Brilliant teaching aid. Lots of useful equipment within set. Excellent for practice.
Amazing product
As a proud owner of a Sim & Skills Foot & Ankle model, I thought it was time I invested in a Hand & Wrist.
My clients find it really helpful when we are discussing anatomy and it really aids their recovery.
I believe client education and knowing that your body is something to be enjoyed, not feared, is such an important platform for recovery from chronic pain.
This item is very useful for NG insertion training, it can be used in a horizontal position and the fluid bag does not leak out. The bag and tubing can all be stored within the head making storage of the item easy. It is very simple to use and the head is strong and durable
Purchased these bags for training with venepuncture and so far very pleased with quality and cost
Fast delivery, excellent communication and a great price
Excellent fast service. Thank you.
