Stairs can be challenging for someone who uses a wheelchair, has extreme leg pains, or suffers from limited leg function. If a loved one has trouble using the stairs in his or her home, there are many ways to increase accessibility. For outdoor spaces, use a threshold ramp to make walking up stairs or using a wheelchair easier. A modular ramp system may be necessary for larger flights of outdoor stairs. Indoor stairs won’t be a problem if you install a stair lift or chair lift.
If walking on flat surfaces is a problem, a walker may be necessary. Walkers are used to provide additional support while standing. This helps to relieve pressure of the legs and back, and makes walking easier. Some walkers even have seats built into them to allow for comfortable rest.
