I have a friend who reach out to me for help.  His wife is becoming restricted to a mobile scooter because of MS.  See below for his request to me.  Do you have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.  Danl

 

Carol has been more consistently using mobility devices around the house as her MS progresses.  Unfortunately we’ve noticed streaked gouges in doors, moldings and walls where these devices bump against these fixed structures.  I’ve tried attaching pads, tape, etc. to the parts of the devices that rub the surfaces but that only partially helps.  I was wondering about attaching some type of white or clear guards to the bottom of doors and walls but don’t know of any cosmetically acceptable and unobtrusive products that would work.  White Formica strips possibly?  Any thoughts?
 

Found these two sites with ideas. I searched for "Door Jamb guards wheelchair". Several other hits on that search. Maybe enough to give you a start.
