FAQ
- How can Moddy help Occupational Therapists design compliant handrails for ramps and stairs?
Moddy allows OTs to create and visualize handrail designs in a 3D environment, ensuring they meet regulations.
Users can specify dimensions, adjust handrail heights, and ensure proper clearances.
The software’s measurement and modification tools help validate that railings are installed at the correct height (34-38 inches) and extend appropriately at landings.
- What handrail requirements should OTs keep in mind when using Moddy to design rails for accessibility?
When designing in Moddy, OTs should ensure that handrails are present on both sides of stairs and ramps, are continuous, and have a 1.5-inch clearance from adjacent surfaces.
The software can help position handrails to meet these requirements while also allowing therapists to customize designs for different patient needs.
- Can Moddy help ensure proper handrail extensions for wheelchair ramps?
Yes, Moddy allows OTs to model handrail extensions that extend 12 inches beyond the top and bottom of a ramp, as required by guidelines.
- How does Moddy support edge protection planning for wheelchair ramps?
Moddy enables OTs to incorporate edge protection by designing curbs, barriers, or bottom rails that prevent wheelchairs and mobility aids from slipping off the ramp. The software helps verify that the edge protection meets standards, such as ensuring a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through gaps near the ramp surface.
