Having a wheelchair or handicap ramp installed can provide vital accessibility to anyone that is confined to a scooter, a wheelchair, or that has restricted mobility.
At Back Home Safely, we know that all wheelchair and handicap ramps are not created equal.
Although there are certain guidelines that have been developed by the American Disabilities Act regarding wheelchair ramps, these guidelines may not be adequate to take care of your specific needs.
The basic requirements of one foot of ramp for every foot of rise for instance, may result in a ramp that is too steep for an elderly person who has experienced a stroke to propel a wheelchair on.
That same ramp may just also be too long for an athletic paraplegic who would prefer to have less of his driveway or yard covered by a wheelchair ramp.
Before having a ramp installed on your home, business or automobile, you must first determine what the primary function of the ramp will be.
- Will it be for someone to propel a wheelchair independently on?
- Will it be for someone to mobilize a scooter or electric wheelchair on?
- Will someone be walking on it with a cane or a walker?
At Back Home Safely, occupational and physical therapists Gregg and Karen Frank take time to find out the answers to these crucial questions and then use their experience and expertise to determine the best ramp layout as well as ramp material to promote safe and convenient accessibility.
