After stroke, survivors often clip furniture on the way to the bathroom — especially coffee tables, nightstands, and desk corners on a new path. Padding is a fast fix while you plan wider clearance or renovation.
Start with the route you use at night: bed → hall → toilet. Pad corners at hip and knee height before decorative rooms.

Common questions
- Are toddler corner guards okay for adults?
- They can soften impact on low tables, but adult hip height and entrapment risks differ. Choose guards sized for your furniture and routes — not only childproofing kits.
- Do padded corners replace grab bars?
- No. Padding reduces bump injuries; grab bars and clear paths prevent falls. Use both where OT recommends.
