Visiting OTAC 2026: Discover Stair Climbers for Adults

If you are an Occupational Therapist planning to attend OTAC 2026, this is an ideal opportunity to explore practical solutions that directly support your day to day clinical work. One of the most common challenges faced during home assessments is safe access to stairs.

For adults with reduced mobility, neurological conditions or recovering from injury, stairs can quickly become a major barrier within the home. At OTAC this year, you will be able to see how stair climbers for Adults are becoming an essential solution for safe and effective mobility.

The Stair Climbing Company will be exhibiting and speaking at every OTAC event across 2026, starting with Leeds this Thursday.


Why Stair Mobility Matters in Adult OT

Occupational Therapists working with adults regularly encounter environments where stairs limit independence and increase risk. Whether supporting older adults, individuals with long term conditions or those returning home after hospital discharge, stair access is often a key concern.

Falls on stairs remain a significant risk factor, and manual handling by carers can increase the likelihood of injury for both the individual and those supporting them.

This is where stairclimbers for Adults provide a practical and immediate solution. They allow safe, controlled movement between floors without the need for immediate structural adaptations.

At OTAC, you can explore how these solutions fit into real clinical scenarios and discharge planning.


What You Will Learn at the Stair Climbing Company Stand

Visiting The Stair Climbing Company at OTAC gives you the opportunity to see how stair climbers for OTs can support your assessments and recommendations.

At the stand, you will be able to:

  • See stair climbers demonstrated in real time
  • Understand how they support adult mobility needs
  • Discuss discharge and community cases
  • Explore short term and long term equipment options
  • Learn how to reduce manual handling risks

For Occupational Therapists, this is a valuable opportunity to see equipment in action and ask practical questions.


Supporting Safe Discharge and Independent Living

A key priority for many Occupational Therapists is enabling safe and timely discharge from hospital. Stairs are often one of the biggest barriers to achieving this.

Not all homes are suitable for stairlifts or through floor lifts, and waiting times for adaptations can delay discharge or limit independence.

Stair climbers for Adults offer a flexible and immediate solution. They can be implemented quickly and allow individuals to safely access all areas of their home.

Benefits include:

  • Safe transport up and down stairs
  • Reduced risk of falls and injury
  • Lower manual handling strain for carers
  • No need for structural modifications
  • Support for independent living

At OTAC, you can explore how stairclimbers for OTs can support both short term discharge planning and long term care strategies.
