Shower Wheelchair
:
Handicapped, a somewhat euphemistic term, may imply
a helplessness that is not suggested by the more forthright disabled.
It is also felt that some stigma may attach to the word Handicapped
because of its origin in the phrase hand in cap, actually derived
from a game of chance but sometimes mistakenly believed to involve
the image of a beggar. The word Handicap
Accessible is best reserved to describe a disabled person who
is unable to function owing to some property of the environment.
Taking a shower is no easy task for the wheelchair
dependant. A Shower
wheelchair, also called a commode, is a useful tool at home.
The use of a shower chair will reduce assistance from caregivers,
thereby giving a person with weak motor strength and stability a
sense of independence while bathing. Shower wheelchairs are ideal
for wheelchair users who don't feel stable on fixed shower chairs
or benches.
Fold Away Wheelchair Shower is the hottest new
addition in home medical equipment. Designed and manufactured by
Sisus this completely assembled,
portable shower stall allows a person in a wheelchair to take a
shower in any room where there is access to warm water for the shower
head, an electrical outlet for the pump to remove the waste water,
and a drain.
