Options In Handicap Shower ChairsThere are many reasons an individual might need the added support of a shower chair when bathing. Anyone who is unsteady on his or her feet or suffers from balance problems can benefit from handicap shower chairs. Elderly, disabled, or individuals suffering from an injury might need to use a reliable shower chair for added safety when taking a shower. Handicap shower chairs are typically made from a strong, non-corrosive material like PVC. Rubber is often added to the bottom of the legs to help prevent the chair from slipping. Some common variations of handicap shower chairs include removable arms, wheels, swing away footrests, the addition of backs and handles, folding chairs, and padded seats. The wheeled chairs offer the added benefit of independence for many disabled people, who are able to transport themselves into the shower. Handicap shower chairs typically have a weight capacity of 250 to 300 pounds, and some heavy duty models will hold up to 400 pounds. The prices of handicap shower chairs vary, depending on the model and options chosen. An online search of the numerous suppliers of these specialty chairs will result in prices ranging from about $28 to several thousand dollars. For some people, depending on the type and severity of their disability, another option might be a specialty shower cubicle with a seat that swings out to help the person transfer from their wheelchair into the shower. The person sits down on the seat, which then swings back into the shower. There should be grab rails for added safety. If the individual can wheel himself or herself into the bathroom, then get into the shower with the aid of the swing-out seat, this will give an added measure of privacy that many will appreciate. It is possible to order almost anything online these days, including handicap shower chairs. There are many online sites with various models of shower chairs in a wide range of prices. These may also be found at specialty medical supply stores. Handicap shower chairs are sometimes covered by medical insurance, if prescribed by a doctor and deemed to be medically necessary. |
