Help With Climbing Stairs

Many people need help with climbing stairs. There is now a range of walking sticks specially designed for stairs and steps?

The stair assist cane has been cleverly designed and is bound to be a hit. It is perfect for anyone who needs help with climbing stairs, not just older people, but anyone who has a leg weakness or is post-op. It is also ideal for anyone experiencing problems with their balance.

Stairlift

Many people are unable to have a stairlift. People who rent privately and those living in homes with awkward-shaped staircases are among them. The stair assist cane is going to benefit thousands of disabled people and has been met with excitement by occupational therapists.

Falls risk

Most stair lifts are unaffordable for many. Local Councils no longer fit them as readily as years ago, although it is still worth asking.

This leaves thousands of elderly and disabled people struggling to access upstairs rooms safely. With people 1 in 2 people over the age of 85 likely to fall each year, stairs pose a real challenge and danger. Some people are resigned to living downstairs, which is not ideal if the bathroom is upstairs.

National Trust

This walking stick for stairs is so useful in National Trust and Heritage Properties where staircases tend to be wide with banisters on one side. Many visitors are unable to access the first floor unless there is a lift. Other Places

Other places these specially designed sticks will come into their own will include football stadiums, theatres and concert venues. These are all locations where steps need to be tackled to access seats. The stair assist cane is fully adjustable to various stair heights. Once you arrive at the right place it can be altered to a level position. This then provides you with a sturdy walking aid having 8 ferrules for improved stability.

Light-weight

Whilst this walking aid looks more bulky than other sticks it is incredibly lightweight. This makes it very portable, and comfortable providing improved stability and reassurance to users.

Price

The price of the stair assist cane is going to be in the region of £130.
