GRAB BARS & STROKE


Grab Bars can provide a tremendous degree of assist and a sense of security for those who have suffered a stroke. It is important to carefully assess the limitations of the individual so grab bars can be placed in suitable locations. It is common with stroke for one to demonstrate reduced mobility, strength and awareness on one side of the body though this not always the case. Visual deficits, balance difficulties, personality changes are just some of the many manifestations of stroke and these all may play some role in deciding where grab bars should be placed to provide the optimum benefit. The goals of providing safety, assistance and a sense of security should be kept in mind when conceiving a suitable arrangement for grab bar placement in this scenario. Grab Rails that are located in sensible locations can make a world of difference for an individual who has had a stroke and can help to reduce the limiting effects of fear and insecurity which may initially accompany basic activities such as standing and walking. A securely installed grab bar offers the stability that many patients seek and will help to speed the recovery process. Grab Bars in various sizes and finishes are available on our website or by visiting the Mr. Grab Bar showroom in Naples, Florida.
