Stair recommendations

01/28/2002 01:30 PM bsirhc

Hi

I am looking for recommendations on comfortable riser height and tread depth for a person who uses a walker. Would it be correct to allow for all 4 legs of the walker to be on the tread plus 10"-12" of standing room? Graphic Standards sizes walkers approximatly at 2'8" wide and 1'2" deep. This would give a tread of 24" - 26".
This is for a private residence in upstate NY, where the clients will eventually be retiring to.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
