- I don't know if this is the right newsgroup for this
- question (if there is another newsgroup that I should
- ask, I would appreciate knowing about it). I have a
- relative who is convalescing (VERY LONG term) from a
- back injury, and has discovered stairs. It seems
- that a visit at a house with a few shallow steps pro-
- vided some useful exercise. Her own house has no
- such steps. She is interested in obtaining a device
- that consists of a few shallow (adjustable-height?)
- steps leading up to a platform, and has heard that a
- few such devices are used by therapists.
-
- Has anyone out there heard of such a device? Or how
- to get one? Please send messages to mccolm@math.usf.edu.

- Thanks in advance,
