ABSTRACT:
The chair of the invention comprises a chair frame and accessories which can be assembled in various combinations and can be operated in various modes to perform a plurality of functions by which persons with physical limitations can become more independent while bathing or toileting. The chair legs can fit inside of a bathtub or shower allowing the chair to become a bath aid, yet, the chair legs are sufficiently wide to allow the chair with a toilet seat to straddle a conventional toilet as a toilet seat riser. The removable back allows the chair to be positioned properly over the toilet bowl, and the structure allows lateral access for perineal therapy. A commode pan is insertable below the seat to convert the chair into a commode. For those uses the chair further provides side handholds or raised armrests as desired. An armrest from either side converts to a bridgeboard which extends laterally, allowing the person to transfer in a sitting position to and from a wheelchair, for example. The structure allows the chair to be coated to prevent corrosion and to allow cleaning. Structural features are described which aid operation and reduce cost.
