Accessibility • Rehabilitation • Clinical-Grade Custom Barres rehabilitation barres are engineered for accessible environments and can be installed to align with ADA dimensional and structural guidelines when installed per specification. Built for clinics, hospitals, and senior care facilities where stability, safety, and repeatable cleaning matter. ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act. In clinical and public-facing facilities, accessible design helps ensure safe use for patients and visitors with mobility limitations. For therapy environments, barres are often treated like support rails: installation height, grip diameter, wall clearance, and mounting integrity all matter. Important: Compliance depends on correct installation in the specific environment. Custom Barres systems are engineered so facilities can install within ADA-aligned dimensional ranges when installed per specification. Height 34–38 inches Measured to the top of the gripping surface. Many therapy spaces choose ~36" as a practical standard. Diameter 1¼–2 inches Circular grips in this range are commonly used for accessibility. Many rehab facilities prefer 2" for comfort and grip support. Wall clearance 1½ inches minimum Clearance behind the grip supports safe grasping and reduces pinch points, depending on bracket and wall conditions. Continuity Continuous grip area Avoid interruptions where possible. Longer runs can support progressive gait and balance training sessions. In rehabilitation settings, patients may suddenly transfer full body weight. Therapy barres should be engineered for high-load support and mounted into appropriate structural backing. Tip: For clinical stability, facilities often prefer closer bracket spacing compared to dance/fitness installations. Install into studs or blocking. Concrete/CMU requires appropriate masonry anchors. Avoid drywall-only mounting. Confirm wall clearance behind the grip, set final height to match patient population, and verify level installation across the run. For rehab stability, consider closer spacing to minimize flex and improve confidence for fall-risk patients. Many facilities use licensed contractors and keep installation notes for safety and compliance processes. For clinical environments, documentation is part of risk management. Keep records that support consistent inspection and maintenance. A common ADA-aligned installation range is 34–38 inches measured to the top of the gripping surface. Many facilities choose ~36 inches as a practical standard, adjusted to the patient population and treatment goals. Accessible environments commonly use a circular gripping surface within 1¼–2 inches. Many rehab facilities prefer 2 inches for comfort and a more supportive grip, especially for older adults or patients with reduced hand strength. A minimum clearance of 1½ inches behind the gripping surface is commonly used to support safe grasping. Final clearance depends on the bracket design and wall conditions. Portable barres can be useful for training, but fixed wall- or floor-mounted systems are typically preferred where an accessible, continuous support surface is required. Keep installation notes, mounting method details, height/clearance measurements, and an inspection/maintenance schedule. This supports consistent safety practices and internal compliance processes. Tell us your wall type, desired run length, target height, and patient population. We’ll recommend the right configuration. Note: Accessibility outcomes depend on installation context.
