The clove hitch is a ‘stopper knot’ used in the middle of a rope to stop either end of the rope from being pulled. It stops the rope from moving either direction, to some degree. As one side pulls, the friction and tension of the rope stops it. The same is true for the other side. Getting the knot undone is fairly simple as long as there is slack on at least one side. It is also a weight bearing knot that can be trusted.

Knots can be an important part of survival and preparation. Knowing how to tie proper knots to accomplish a specific task can mean the difference in you being able to help someone in need, or your yourself falling also. Knot tying is a very perishable skill. If you don’t practice regularly, you will soon forget.

Preventing falls on stairs: Improving stair and handrail design for older adults

Presented by the Ontario Falls Prevention Community of Practice…

Falls on stairs, particularly those found in homes, have remained a significant problem across the lifespan, but particularly so for older adults. Design of stairs and handrails can play an important role in preventing these devastating injuries. For example, it has been estimated that a longer step can result in a 4-fold reduction in the number of falls. In the event that a misstep occurs, the most effective to stop an injury is to reach and grasp for a handrail. This action must be done quickly and accurately to recover from the balance loss and avert the potential fall. It follows that the design of the handrail must accommodate this rapid movement permitting the achievement of a functional grip. Laboratory-based evidence provides guidance to the underlying motor control and mechanisms of falls reduction during stair ambulation related to step geometry. For handrails, the size, shape and height of the railing should support a “reach-to-grasp” reaction to be effective at preventing a fall. Improved stair and handrail design supports an age-friendly built environment and can minimize stair-related falls.
