People
with arthritis and mobility problems can have a difficult
time getting up from a toilet seat. It's something that most
people take for granted, but can be embarrassing for those
who have a problem with conventional toilet seat height. Raised
toilet seats can eliminate the problem as the additional height
provided enables the user to stand easily after use. Many
raised toilet seats are portable, so visiting friends or family
can be enjoyed again. Raised toilet seats are usually made
from smooth plastic for comfort and can be adjusted to fit
most toilets. There are also raised toilet seats that are
asymmetrical in shape, specially designed for those recovering
from hip replacement surgery or leg fracture.

Additional information :
A
safer toilet
Whatever else happens, being able to use the loo privately and
comfortably is a fundamental expectation. If arthritis or any
other impairment is making this difficult for you, there are
lots of ways to ease the situation.
o You can raise the height of the toilet very simply, by replacing
the seat with a raised toilet seat, or (less simply) by adding
a plinth beneath it. Some raised toilet seats also have integral
arms, to help you push yourself up.
o A sturdy frame around the loo, or one or two grab rails adjacent
can help with extra support as you get up and down. Hinged grab
rails push up against the wall when you don't need them, so
are less obstructive in small bathrooms.
o There are now special seats available that give you a little
lift, either electric, battery or air-powered.
o If dexterity is also a problem, you might well add a bidet
facility to your loo - there are add-ons that fit most standard
toilets, and make a very economical alternative to installing
a separate bidet. Alternatively, you can install a purpose-built
unit that combines toilet, bidet and warm air drying in one
- but this is a more expensive option, of course. |
