How To Treat Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Installation Of Grab Bars

The installation of grab bars can help make the home safer for individuals with progressive supranuclear palsy to continue living independently. The biggest risk for PSP patients is falling. With this in mind, adding home accommodations like grab bars to mitigate falling risks is critical. Adding grab bars and handles around the home can help patients more confidently navigate from place to place, even when their leg movement is impaired. Installed grab rails should be firmly affixed to a dwang or stud and be tested to hold a person's full weight. If used in areas like the shower, kitchen, or other potentially wet places, they should have a non-slip grip. Bars should have a visual design that's easily seen against the wall, and there should be adequate clearance between the rail and wall to keep individuals from banging their knuckles.
