FAQ
- Why are threshold ramps used?
Threshold ramps are typically used to manage small step elevations, such as at the front or back entrances of a home.
They can also be used inside a home, for example, to navigate small steps between rooms.
Threshold ramps often include wings on the left and right sides for added safety.
- Why do threshold ramps have wings?
Wings are essential for safety when a threshold ramp doesn’t sit flush against a wall.
Without wings, the ramp would drop off abruptly, creating a risk of falls.
Wings provide a gradual slope from the edge of the ramp back to ground level, significantly reducing the risk of tripping or falling.
- What materials are threshold ramps made of?
Threshold ramps can be made from various materials, but the most common include:
- Recycled rubber
- Wood
- Steel
- Aluminum
These materials are chosen for durability and functionality.
- What measurements are needed to design a threshold ramp?
When designing a threshold ramp, an occupational therapist needs to measure:
- Height: This corresponds to the step the ramp is addressing.
- Width: This typically matches the door clearance.
- Length: This depends on the gradient chosen, which is determined by the height of the step.
- Where in a home are threshold ramps commonly used?
Threshold ramps are most often used:
- At the front or back doors where there’s a step to negotiate.
- Inside the home, such as at small thresholds entering a bathroom or laundry.
- What factors should be considered when determining the width of a threshold ramp for wheelchair accessibility?
When designing for wheelchair users, the width of the threshold ramp must account for long-term mobility needs. Even if the client is currently ambulant, planning for future accessibility is critical.
Doorways and ramps should generally be a minimum of 1 meter wide to accommodate most wheelchair models.
- Can I match the width of a threshold ramp to the doorway clearance in Moddy?
Yes! In Moddy, you can easily match the width of a threshold ramp to the doorway clearance. Each item has specific inputs for dimensions, allowing you to set the width accurately down to the millimeter.
