Foot operated toilet flush
The client has rheumatoid arthritis and was unable to turn herself sufficiently to flush the toilet. She used to press the handle with her elbow while seated which was very difficult.
Two boards were hinged with a coil spring between them. A cord attached to the upper board was tied to the cistern handle enabling the client to operate the flush using her foot.
The client is now able to use and to flush the toilet with greater ease.
