A shower chair is a water-resistant seat used in a tub or shower to provide stability and prevent falls for individuals with limited mobility, pain, weakness, or fatigue. These assistive devices help people bathe safely and independently by offering a place to sit while in the shower or bath. 

Key Features

Water-resistant design:

Made from waterproof materials to withstand the shower environment. 

Non-slip feet/suction cups:

Equipped with features on the legs to prevent the chair from slipping on wet surfaces. 

Adjustable height:

Allows the user to set the chair to their preferred height for comfort and proper ergonomics. 

Safety features:

May include backrests, armrests, and handles for additional support and balance. 

Drainage:

Features holes or gaps in the seat to allow water to drain, preventing pooling and maintaining cleanliness. 

Who Needs a Shower Chair?

Shower chairs are beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including: 

Older adults concerned about slipping.

People recovering from surgery or injury.

Individuals with chronic conditions that cause pain or fatigue.

People with disabilities or limited mobility. 

Types of Shower Chairs

Shower Stools:

Simple, backless seats without any additional features. 

Shower Chairs:

Similar to stools but include a backrest for added support and comfort. 

Fold-Down Chairs:

Wall-mounted chairs that can be folded up and out of the way when not in use. 

Rolling Shower Chairs/Commode Chairs:

Designed like a wheelchair and can be moved into the shower and used as a commode. 

Transfer Benches:

These benches extend over the tub's edge, allowing users to sit outside the tub and then slide into the bathing area.

To use a shower chair, first position the stable chair in the shower and adjust it to the correct height so your feet are flat on the floor. Then, back up to the chair and slowly lower yourself onto the seat. Use a long-handled sponge and handheld showerhead to wash, keeping essentials within easy reach to avoid twisting or bending. To exit, carefully stand up and step out of the shower. 

Preparation

Position the chair: Place the shower chair firmly in the tub or shower stall, ensuring all rubberized feet are on the floor.

Check stability: The chair should not wiggle, slip, or tilt; if it does, reposition it or use a non-slip mat underneath.

Clear the area: Remove any potential hazards, like soap dishes, from the shower to make maneuvering safer.

Adjust the height: Set the chair's adjustable legs so your feet can rest flat on the shower floor while seated.

Arrange supplies: Place essential items like soap, shampoo, and a long-handled sponge within easy reach so you don't have to overextend or twist to get them. 

Using the Chair

Approach the chair: Back up until the back of your legs touch the chair.

Lower yourself: Reach for the grab bars on the chair, if available, then slowly lower yourself to a seated position.

Wash: Use a long-handled sponge to wash your lower legs, feet, and back.

Use a handheld showerhead: If available, a handheld shower hose allows for easier cleaning without extensive bending. 

Exiting the Shower

Stand up: Use the grab bars or armrests to stand up slowly.

Step out: Carefully step out of the shower.

Dry off: You may wish to dry off before transferring to a wheelchair or other device.
