When selcting a shower stall for a person that is
mobility impaired there are many considerations that
have to be addressed. Though we do not know all
considerations that you are facing, we listed the
most common ones that we asked our customers before
buying the a shower stall.
-Will the persons disability be the same in the future
or will it worsen?
-Can the person shower themself or assitance is needed to shower?
-What is the weight of the person to be showered?
-Who will be the caregiver assisting the person to be showered?
-Does the caregiver have the phyiscal strenght to lift and move
the person to be showered?
-Does the person urinate or have a bowel movement when showering?
-What type of shower chair will the person need?
Both chairs are used for showering. Both chairs have
accessories allowing the person to urinate and void when
showering. The big difference is the chair in Figure 1 has
leg extenders requiring a longer length shower stall.
The roll in shower stalls RIS-1 and RIS-2 are designed to
accomodate the Figure 1 shower chair.
The roll in shower stalls RIS-3 and RIS-4 are designed to
accomodate the Figure 2 shower chair.
