ABSTRACT:
Housing-retractable footrests are disposed on both sides of a conventional toilet, in a spatial relationship to the plane defined by the toilet seat which inclines the femurs of the toilet user into a healthful squatting position when the user's feet are emplaced upon the extended footrests. When not in use, the footrests are retractable into respective housings by a mechanical linkage manually operated by the user, or in another embodiment, power actuated. Footrest height adjustment is disclosed for adjusting the squatting-position geometry to persons of various leg lengths.
