medbase teaches you how to choose a bath chair

When winter comes and the weather is cold, the elderly should pay more attention to their bath safety. The elderly have limited physical strength and may feel powerless when standing in the bathroom for a long time. With the increase of temperature and humidity in the bathroom, they are prone to dizziness, chest tightness or poor breathing and other discomfort, leading to fainting and slipping. Therefore, the most effective way to prevent falls in the bath is to use professional shower chairs and take a sitting bath, so as to effectively solve the hidden dangers in the bath of the elderly, pregnant women and people with mobility difficulties.

The bath chair mainly deals with the following situations:

1.People who are weak, aging, physically weak, and unable to stand steadily

2. Deformation of knee joint, such as that caused by rheumatoid joint, rheumatism, hemiplegia, fracture, etc

3.For the elderly with heart disease or hypertension, the change of temperature will increase the burden on the cardiovascular system and easily cause vertigo

4.People who walk unsteadily and often fall down, such as Parkinson's, serious cervical vertebra problems, people who are prone to fainting when their head rotates, etc

2.External splay rubber feet, stable and anti-skid

3.Adjustable height, increased stability, and easy to get up
