Secured shower chair

The 35- year old client has a level access shower, but the shower chair has occasionally toppled over with him in it, requiring a carer to help him back up.

A steel frame was fitted to the rear of the shower chair and secured to the floor outside the shower. The ‘upside – down – U – shape’ portion of the frame is easily lifted out from both the outside floor section and the blocks on the back of the chair. Since their protruding length provides the security, clamping is not required. The client now levers himself from his wheelchair onto the now-fixed shower chair.

The client no longer topples over in the shower. He is also independent of any need for a carer to stand by, and thus maintains his modesty.
