Abschnitt 3.4 - 3.4 Additional requirements
In certain cases, it may be necessary to consider additional criteria when choosing the type of floor covering. Wet barefoot areas in medical bathing facilities are one such case (for example, departments for medical balneology and hydrotherapy in hospitals and spa facilities). In these facilities, the factors below must additionally be taken into consideration in order to accommodate patients with physical disabilities:
Walking with crutches
Using mobility aids, wheelchairs or portable patient lifts to traverse floors
Triggering of reflexes in patients with certain disorders (for example, patients with spastic paralysis)
