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.

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. |
