Very nice and helpful. Glad that I bought it for my disabled daughter.

Tens and my lower back

First time use helped relieve a portion of my pain. 1 hour and I was able to stand almost upright for a few moments. However, pain was back shortly thereafter. Will use 2-3 times daily.

Carex Ultra Grip™ Grab Bar

Provides a useful assist to balance in the shower.

Carex Safety Treads

The treads were installed in the tub and did not stay attached when water was added. Installation followed the directions and the tub was not usesd for 24 hours. I would not recommend the treads.
