Bars and grab bars in the bathroom

Our first recommendation from a safety point of view will be to recommend handles attached to the wall with screws, but always keeping in mind that the user may want, for various reasons, a handle with a suction cup. Therefore, we must know the advantages and disadvantages in both cases and the recommendations that we must give from our establishment.

We always keep safety and fall prevention in mind and that bars and grab bars are a basic tool to achieve a safe environment. They should be close at hand when needed and not in the way when not needed.

They are manufactured with special care in detail and in ergonomic conditions, such as dimensions, shapes and textures. Remember that the bathroom has a humid environment and that is why we recommend bars and grab bars that cannot rust. The products that you will find in this section respond to a functional and professional criteria without forgetting the aesthetic aspects

The bars or handles that use suction cups have the advantage that they are portable and do not require installation. On the contrary, they do not admit adherence to all surfaces, they need maintenance (remove it and dry the space where they are located well) and they are less safe, thus increasing the risk of falls.

If we decide to use bars and handles that use screws for their fastening, we must consider that they require installation and their use is limited to a single room once installed. On the other hand, they provide greater security and therefore less risk of falls. They can be installed on any surface with the appropriate screws and do not require maintenance.

Joint range of motion is the normal movement of a joint. This moves from its anatomical position to the extreme limit of movement in a particular direction (flexion, extension, secondary movements such as rotation, abduction…). Having an optimal range of motion allows you to move freely without pain or stiffness and to perform activities independently.

The main cause of reduced mobility is given by a limitation in the joint range. There are different factors, among which we find:

 - Joint pain

 - Obesity

 - Muscle spasticity

 - Injuries (sports injuries, dislocations, fractures...)

 - Diseases (arthritis, osteoarthritis...)

 - Inflammation (tendinitis, bursitis...)

 - Others…

 - ABD (Abduction) and ADD (Adduction).

 - flexion-extension.

 - Internal and external rotations.

Personal hygiene: upper extremity limitation (ESS)

Products suitable for limitations in the shoulder joint, since it allows us to carry out the activity by inhibiting the elevation of the shoulder and performing elbow flexion.

To facilitate the activity we can carry out the action resting the elbow on a surface that is at a suitable height that does not force us to flex the trunk.
