Diane Nichols, PT, NCS explains some fall prevention tips in the bedroom and bathroom. Patients can also use some equipment in the bathroom where falls are likely to happen. Bath bench allows a patient to sit on the outside of the tub and scoot across the tub, while a shower bench may be used if the patient is unsteady their feet and no endurance to stand up.
