I thought it was time to start a new thread for a new question. I was afraid nobody would notice if I tried to introduce a new question in the previous thread. Does anybody have a suggestion for how to experiment to determine the location where a grab bar (or bars) would be the most useful for our purposes? What we have discovered is that you can't tell how useful any location or configuration for the grab bar will be if you can't grab it and try pulling yourself up with it. Holding something the right length in place, and then trying to imagine what it would be like to use it to pull yourself up is totally useless. You learn nothing about the grip, or how the leverage will change as you rise. Now that I have a good idea of what I have to do to install the grab bar(s), I'd like to be able to do more than just guess at where it would do the most good.
