How do walk-in tubs with low-entry thresholds enhance safety for seniors with arthritis?

A low-entry threshold reduces the height someone must step over compared with a conventional bathtub wall. For a person with arthritis, the actual step height, handholds and seat access should be checked together. Low entry does not eliminate the need to lift a foot or maintain balance. Compare exact dimensions and consider a transfer model or other bathing arrangement if stepping is difficult.
