- Do simple warm-up exercises (e.g., seated stretches).
3. Adaptation during bathing:
- Maintain the water temperature slightly warm rather than hot.
- Blend non-slip footrests and mats with suction cups .
- Install grab bars near the shower and toilet.
4. Support and supervision:
- Have a companion, if possible, or use an intercom to call for help.
