Frequently Bought Together
Reduce the risk of falls and navigate your home with confidence using the Non-Slip Platform Step. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this portable mobility aid is designed to support NDIS participants living with limited hip or knee flexion, balance impairments, or reduced lower limb strength.
High door thresholds, bathtubs, and vehicle entry points can present significant barriers to independence. This platform acts as a "half-step," reducing the height the user needs to lift their leg by approximately 9-10cm. By breaking a large step into two smaller, manageable movements, it significantly lowers the physical effort and balance required to transfer. Engineered from robust, weather-resistant materials with drainage capabilities, it is equally effective in the shower, at the front door, or beside the bed, empowering participants to access their environment safely.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
-
Fall Prevention: Reduces the vertical distance of steps, improving stability and balance for users who struggle with high risers or uneven terrain.
-
Joint Protection: Minimizes the range of motion required at the hip and knee, reducing pain and strain for participants with arthritis or recovering from surgery.
-
Facilitating Transfers: Provides a stable intermediate platform for getting in and out of vehicles or stepping into a bathtub, promoting independent personal care and community access.
-
Safety in Wet Areas: The specialized drainage holes and non-slip rubber feet make it safe for use in wet environments like bathrooms or outdoor entryways without accumulation of water.
