An elevated seating platform designed for use with standard toilets, this assistive device enhances accessibility for individuals with mobility limitations. Installation typically involves securing the unit directly onto the existing toilet bowl, increasing the overall seat height. This modification allows users to sit and stand more easily, reducing strain on joints and muscles.
The implementation of such a device provides increased independence and safety in the bathroom. By minimizing the distance required for transfers, it reduces the risk of falls, particularly for elderly individuals or those recovering from surgery. The historical context shows a growing awareness of universal design principles and the importance of adaptive equipment to promote inclusivity and maintain quality of life.
