Training Stairs

The Training Stairs were manufactured in our very own workshop and are used as a teaching aid to help patients learn how to climb stairs with their varying disabilities.

Working against gravity the stairs also offer a means to help build up muscular strength as well as co-ordination and spatial orientation especially in the case of Stroke Patients.

Teaching patients to utilize the Training Stairs helps to instill confidence and is the ‘first step’ to ensuring that similar obstacles are not seen as insurmountable.
