According to TheMedSupplyGuide.com


Wheelchair ramps are available in a wide variety of designs. They are ideal for negotiating steps and curbs, when putting a wheelchair into a car, and in places where it is necessary to compensate for height differences. To make the threshold accessible without structural modifications, miniature ramps can be fitted to provide the appropriate slope for a more comfortable - and safer - transition through a doorway.
