My husband needs a decent anti-skid tape for the foot rest of his wheelchair. He has CP and his feet slip of the chair and he needs the grip.

As I'm sure you know this is used traditionally on skateboards. However it could be used for a variety of different things. It does sound like what you're using it for would be a good application, I would Say, Give it a try it and obviously if it doesn't work to try something else.

Black magic anti-skid tape would work good for something like the wheelchair foot rest.

Karen, it is best on a wheelchair or scooter and please know that you will have to use duct tape to keep it in place.

I have found suitable vinyl adhesive feet available at almost any local hardware store. The dome shaped white rubbery ones that are about 1/2 inch diameter have the added benefit of being aggressively "non-skid".

Even if the wheels don't roll over the edge, they will roll some within the rubber squares; it's really better suited to the feet of a stationary piece of furniture (like a couch). I found a better product for my bed (also on Amazon): "Slipstick CB845 Large Castor Cup Gripper, Chocolate"

My mat slides a little, but the chair still stays on it and it doesn't go far, so have not worried about it. Maybe double sided tape in corners?

It didn't come with any form of grip when i ordered it. A roll of grip tape is easy enough to apply on your own though.

My father-in-law is over 100 years old and also had a sore on his bottom. This cushion has helped tremendously. However, he finds it hard to sit without slipping toward the front of the chair and has to keep hitching himself back up. I have wrapped the cushion with a towel to help the slipperyness, but just did it today, so don't know how well it will work. Pillow is good, though.

Not really good for chairs that move around as they come unstuck, but for chairs you might try socks. I actually use both on chairs, put these on, then the socks.

If your mom is light to normal weight, it has good surface texture for traction. The bolts (screws) are supporting the weight at the high end and leaned some with a wheelchair coming down or going up. It is well made. I would have liked more bracing, sorry haven't checked it wet, but I think the surface texture would grip shoes.

Problem.... I spoke too soon. Used mine again this weekend and it definitely does slip. Sorry for the bad news update. It is possible to slip it back, just takes a little messing around with it. Too bad they don't fix that problem, seems like it wouldn't be difficult, and then the product would be awesome.

There is a flexible "slick" tape that is sold on Amazon. CS Hyde Conformable PTFE Tape With Silicone Adhesive, Brown 1/2 inch X 36 yards It should conform to the rod just fine and probably will stay adhered for a good while. Eventually, it will have to be replaced, probably. I used it on drawer bottoms that get a lot of use, and it has held up very well. Should be useful for lots of situations. It also comes in different sizes. It is a translucent tan.

It doesn't grip very well so I might recommend surgical tape? That's what I used on my pull up bar.

There is a cane called " Hurrycane" which sounds perfect 4 your needs. I looked it up on Google after asking a nurse what would be safest.

Skip the tape altogether, I have a boot knife that needed something to give it a better grip so what I did is, I took some raw hide shoe laces & soaked them in water till they got soft & pliable , then I wrapped the knife grip by pulling & stretching the raw hide as I went . As the raw hide dries it shrinks and becomes REALLY tight & will NOT come off (if you needed the rawhide for some survival needs you could cut it & then unwrap the grip) This will not only make for a really good grip but it looks good too. Tape on the other hand looks amateurish but hey.... if you want a "ghetto grip" go for it.

The PT department at Legacy Hospital here in Vancouver uses one for that purpose. They use the foot pedals as hand grips. They are the ones who recommeded it for my wife's knee replacement therapy.

Use the belt-like carrying strap to secure the cushion to the chair back. For the slippery sitting surface, try wrapping the cushion with a turkish towel. Tuck/wrap it around the cushion. Hope this helps.

Dan, I used it as traction for my dog's feet while driving. She stands on my lap, with front feet on the car door sill, I wanted to protect the door and give her traction. It's great for protection but it's not really a tacky surface, so I would not call it slip free. It's very spongy and the adhesive holds it well, just not quite slip-free.
