Rifton Grab Bars and Anchors

The Anchor family is a collection of suction cup grab bars with varying types of hand grips and arm supports to aid in upper extremity stabilisation for people with disabilities. Stabilizing one arm helps increase upper body control so tasks and activities of daily living become easier. Rifton’s anchors are great to use in the classroom and at home. They are portable and sturdy, but not too heavy. The suction cup base fastens easily to any smooth, horizontal surface including wheelchair trays or stander trays.

The anchors can help users with low tone to receive support and develop strength for improved functional sitting. For users with high tone or movement disorders, the Anchor provides stability for increased functional use of the free hand and arm. Anchors promote inclusion and social development for the user. They are short term positioning aids, and are not intended for primary standing support or transfers.
