• The review conducted by a committee of people having arthritis indicates that CareStair was
found to reduce the range of motion of the hip and knee when ascending and descending stairs.
Thus CareStair has the potential to improve quality of life for many people with arthritis by
providing ease of stair use. The reviewers also found CareStair to be easy to take care of and
safe for the intended purpose.
CareStair minimizes pain and instability, reduces hazards of stair use, therefore making stairs
safer to use. CareStair helps users remain independent and stay in their homes longer for care.
CareStair, when placed over existing home stairs, is hand-adjustable, requires no tools and no
permanent installation due to its patented interface with existing stairs. It is available through
homecare dealers or directly from Protector Care.
