Every time a seated person needs to be repositioned at the table, caregivers must navigate the ‘Trip Zone’ — an area where pushing, pulling, shoving, or twisting is often required and falls are common.
Navigating the Trip Zone…
The ‘Trip Zone‘ is the area around the front of table into which a person needing assistance must navigate. Trips and falls occur often in this area as both the senior and caregivers are expected to:
(1) shuffle sideways
(2) step backwards
(3) lean on the table
for balance as the caregiver assists an individual get seated.
