Question How to stop splash in a Wheelchair-Accesible shower?

Moved into a place & wondering the best way to stop splash in a wheel chair accesible (corner) shower since it's open plan with only slight incline towards drain. Can't permanently modify buit when others are using the shower the water ends up all over the bathroom floor. Wondering any suggestions to build a rubber "lip" or any other ideas, cheers.

Not sure I can picture your layout in my head without some visuals. Can you post or link to some pictures? Is it a trench drain or a center round drain, how big is the area, is the problem only when others use or when all including wheelchair bound use? Where is the placement of the shower head and controls in relation to the layout? etc. etc.

Splash can occur at any level, but if you are just having water "slide" out of the shower, you can install a crushable water curb like the one pictured here. AbleData: Products
