Are you looking for a stairlift? Find out the 6 most important things you should know before you buy and get to know the alternative to a stairlift.
On a staircase with at least three steps, a handrail is required. If the steps exceed a width of 1.5 meters, a handrail must be installed on both sides of the staircase. For a width of at least four meters, an intermediate handrail is mandatory, which is installed in the middle of the staircase.
In short:
A high-contrast design of the staircase and step markings for an accessible staircase.
The easiest way to make stair steps contrastive is by using step markings with the help of noticeable floor stripes. These are inexpensive and can be easily customized to fit any staircase by simple cutting. Retrofitting is therefore quickly feasible.
Important is that:
Adequate lighting conditions are important for an accessible staircase, whether during the day or at night. Lamps should be positioned in a way that no shadows are cast, and both landings and the entry and exit points of the stairs are well illuminated.
Light switches should be placed at a height of 85 cm so that all users can reach them.
An additional measure could be, for example, LED strips for the steps.

Many people, especially seniors, suffer from knee pain when climbing stairs. In this article, we will look at the causes and symptoms as well as helpful exercises and aids. In old age, joint diseases or arthrosis are often the cause of knee pain. However, an accident or fall can also be the cause of knee pain when climbing stairs.
Fall prevention: Falls are one of the most common causes of accidents in Germany. Every year, more than 600,000 people fall in Germany. According to the Federal Statistical Office, 12,867 people died from a fall in 2015 alone.
Particularly as people get older, they often suffer serious injuries. The German Medical Association North Rhine estimates that around 80 percent of all over-80s and around 30 percent of all over-65s fall at home every year.
Jakob Rønningen had no objections when the stair climber was ready for use in the care home. “The device looks good and is robust. I felt safe,” he said after walking up and down the stairs once.
Anyone can be active and mobile – even in old age. With a little practice and a training plan tailored to you, you too can have fun training your mobility in everyday life.
With the help of the TOPRO Step stair climber, he can now go up and down the stairs on his own. Previously, Peder (8) had to crawl up the stairs and could only go up and down the stairs to his nursery at home with the help of his parents.
