ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for assisting a user in safely climbing a stairway and a method for using the apparatus. The apparatus includes a rod and a pair of parallel rails disposed opposite one another along the flight of stairs. Each of the rails has a number of spaced notches in its upper surface so that the rails may releasably support the rod extending therebetween. In use, the rod is grasped by a user and caused to be moved from one set of notches to another thereby steadying the user as he or she walks up or down the stairs.
