Safe Step Stools for Bariatric

There are people who weigh 300 pounds or more that are having a problem trying to find a safe step stool to use for their therapy or rehab exercises. The step stools used for bariatric exercises must have a minimum load rating of 500 pounds. There are step stools that say they are bariatric step stools like some of the wooden step stools, but if you examine the step stool you cannot find the load rating on it. Now, think this over, does it make you feel safe to do your bariatric workout or your physical therapy on a step stool that cannot deliver the safety it promised? You can’t even be sure it can hold your weight while you are exercising.

The bariatric therapy groups in the United States have been recognized by insurance companies making the rehabilitation facilities and physical therapists busy all the time. Some of the rehabilitation centers do not use the correct safe step stool for their bariatric patients because they are not aware of the dangers that the step stool may bring when overloaded. In this case, the patients must call the attention of the therapists if they feel that the step stool is not safe to use for their rehab.

There are some hospitals and bariatric facilities that are not aware of the concerns those patients have with their special needs in terms of finding a quality product for bariatric uses. In case you haven’t noticed, there are still those little chrome step stools that the hospitals are using. The hospitals have been using this not for its quality or safety it can give, but simply because of its cheaper price compared to the 500 pound rated step stool that the bariatric patient needs.
