Apartment adaptation - stairs
All content is checked by medical journalists.Stairs
Stairs are often a major obstacle - either they are insurmountable or they pose an increased risk of falling. Make sure that the individual steps are not damaged, smooth or brittle. Apply non-slip, colored coverings. They are still recognizable even if, for example, you have forgotten your glasses. You can place a chair halfway on very long and wide stairs. So you can treat yourself to a break in between.
• Stair runners: There is a risk of tripping with stair runners that are not nailed up or glued. They should either be attached properly or removed.
• Stairlift: Climbing stairs can be arduous. For the physically weak, a stair lift is an option. This consists of a transport chair and a rail that is mounted on the stair wall. The armchair runs electrically and can be controlled along the rail by switching.
