Support points enable you to move about safely: they prevent you from possibly being thrown off balance or make it possible to regain stability. They also prevent you from getting too tired.
>> Check the stability and height of all support points, made up of grab bars, handrails and the entire furniture.
Be careful: some support points are unstable!
>> Make arrangements for the repair or removal of those liable to collapse, move or topple. Particularly check suspended sinks and wash basins, some towel warmers, light tables, chair backrests or any piece of furniture on wheels.
>> Have the knobs of your doors and furniture replaced by more solid and ergonomic equipment, especially if your hands are sore or deformed (arthrosis, polyarthritis, carpal tunnel).
>> Do not forget that the corners of walls and pieces of furniture can be protected (rounded off) with resilient protective devices (do-it-yourself stores specialised in infancy).
