At just $2.99 a pair,
these replacement tips
are a great way to
reduce fall risk
The incidence of falls in the home can be greatly reduced with the use of nonslip products. Thankfully, slip-resistant solutions are being created. These products include non-slip mats to be used under rugs and bathroom. New additions often do more than just decrease the likelihood of losing your footing.
There are brightly colored mats with treads for the stairs that better indicate where one step ends and the next begins. The easiest, most inexpensive solution we found are small rubber feet you can be attach to the end of canes and walkers to increase grip.
One of the latest products is a coating that can be used on bath tubs and hard floors to make them less slippery. They are easy to apply and essentially invisible once dry. Overall, the market for non -slip products has greatly expanded and a little research, along with a few modifications to your home, can decrease your risk of falling.
