footrests to the side. Shift forward in the wheelchair. Turn both feet so that your
heels face the toilet. Reach and grasp the support rail or handle. Lean forward
and straighten your legs. Lower your pants in the easiest position. Move to a
sitting position on the toilet by turning your legs.
A transfer board can be used as an aid.
To move back to the wheelchair, reverse the order.

lower the foot back to the floor. Do not hold your breath. Change legs.

RAISED TOILET SEAT
A raised toilet seat helps those with hip or knee problems where pain or
restricted movement prevents squatting to normal toilet height.
There are several different types: free standing or attached to the seat, folding,
different heights, with or without armrests, adjustable grips and those that can
be tilted or hoisted.
