5. Operating Instructions

Using the Aidapt Half Step is straightforward:

1. Approach: Approach the step carefully, ensuring you have a clear path.
2. Step Up: Place one foot firmly onto the center of the half step's anti-slip surface.
3. Balance: Once your first foot is securely on the step, bring your second foot onto the step. Use any available handrails or support for balance if needed. The large platform allows you to regain your balance before proceeding.
4. Proceed: Step off the half step onto the higher surface (e.g., doorway, bathtub edge).
5. Descending: When descending, reverse the process. Step onto the half step with one foot, ensure balance, then bring the second foot down to the ground.
