9.Get Rid of Tripping Hazards
Plush, cushiony carpet may seem like a good idea if you’re a little unsteady on your feet. But it can actually make it harder to walk and easier to fall. To prevent falls:
Try to choose smooth, non-skid floors.
Remove throw rugs. If a space needs a rug or mat, secure it to the floor with double-sided carpet tape and non-slip backing.
Tie up curtain and shade cords and corral electric and computer cords so they’re out of the way. And keep the floor clear of anything that could get in your way.
10.Use High Contrast for Low Vision
MS can hurt your vision. With a couple of rolls of tape and a little effort, you can make things easier to see:
The key is to place light against dark to create contrast and make things more visible. Tape can be very useful in this way, but the tools you choose can help as well. For example, use a light cutting board when chopping dark food.
Mark stair edges with bright or contrasting tape.
Use paint or tape to outline light switches or mark handles, knobs on appliances, or lines on a measuring cup.
