Rifton Grab Bar for Upper Extremity Stabilization

Measuring at ten inches, the Rifton Grab Bar may utilized for stabilizing both hands in a variety of situations. The stabilizer bar is structured to assist patients during therapy sessions, in a classroom, or in their home while they perform daily tasks. This type of tool is designed for boosting its users' confidence and independence by helping them build strength.

The strength that the individual gains from using the Rifton Grab Bar has the potential for lessening their motor condition's control which puts the control onto the individual. Similar to everyday grip bars, the Rifton Grab Bar provides a secure tool for user's to hold onto for stability. The stability needed may be because the patient is unsteady as whole or only one part of their body needs to be better controlled.

Despite popular belief, having multiple grab bars throughout the home or common place for a patient is more beneficial. Clinicians, caregivers, and parents are not going overboard, but are providing the individual with the means to gain their independence. With gaining their independence with tasks, the user will feel a boost of confidence in themselves due to being able to properly control their movements. To achieve independence, the user will eventually start to feel confident with their actions and will hold onto the anchoring tool less and less.
