Aging in place or recovering from surgery at home has obvious benefits. Maintaining one’s independence and autonomy can in itself increase mental and mobility activity. Familiarity of one’s own home, making a cup of tea in the kitchen, using the bathroom, are all activities that we take for granted but can become a challenge later in life, or after injury or surgery. The decision to ‘Age in Place’ may depend on the ability of the home owner to keep their home safe and suitable for their daily activities. A product that is increasing in popularity is the floor-to-ceiling grab bar. These robust and versatile devices provide much-needed support for individuals who have mobility challenges, enabling them to stand, sit and maneuver with confidence.
The Need for Floor-to-Ceiling Grab Bars
‘Reducing Fall risk’ is often the primary focus, but a contributing factor to falls is balance. Moving from a seated positon to standing can change blood pressure causing slight dizziness and a reduction in balance as the body re-asserts its balance. For seniors, people with disabilities, or anyone recovering from an injury, navigating around their homes safely can pose a significant challenge. Traditional grab bars often installed in showers or near toilets provide support in those particular areas, but they may not be sufficient for support and balance when moving around other places in the home, or it may not be possible to install in a position where they can be used; by the side of a favorite chair; at a kitchen bench. This is where a floor-to-ceiling grab bar comes into play.
