Where a client needs the extra height but not the balance demand, the step stool with a hand rail gives them something to hold on the way up and on the way down. The rail lets the person load their arms, keep their weight forward and take the step under control.
It suits access to a high bed, a single step at a back door, or getting in and out of a car or caravan. The rail also gives a carer a fixed point to guide from, so they are not holding the client’s arm and being pulled off balance.
Handy in a rental or a home where a permanent grab rail is not an option, since nothing has to be fixed to the wall.
