SECTION 1 GENERAL GUIDELINES
PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat
or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
The seat depth/width, back height, position of the casters, size/position of
the rear wheels as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of
the Rehab Shower Commode chair. Any change to one (1) or any combina-
tion of the above may cause the shower commode chair to decrease in
stability. These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
Many activities may require the Rehab
Shower Commode chair owner to
reach, bend and transfer in and out of
the chair. These movements cause a
change in the normal balance, the center
of gravity and the weight distribution of
the chair. To determine and establish
your particular safety limits, practice
bending, reaching and transferring
activities in several combinations in the
presence of a qualified healthcare
professional BEFORE attempting active
use of the Shower Commode chair.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning or bending for-
ward, it is important to use the front casters as a tool to maintain stability and balance.
REACHING, LEANING AND BENDING - FORWARD
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you
have to move forward in the seat or pick
them up from the floor by reaching down
between your knees.
Position the front casters so that they are extended
as far forward as possible and engage wheel locks.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
REACHING AND LEANING - BACKWARDS
WARNING
DO NOT lean over the top of the back
upholstery. This will change your center
of gravity and may cause you to tip over.
Position Rehab Shower Commode chair as
close as possible to the desired object. Point
front casters forward to create the longest
possible wheelbase. Reach back only as far as
your arm will extend without changing your
sitting position.
