This method works with shower stools with thin legs. A grab bar is also used to hold on to a fixed point during transfers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nThe wheelchair is locked to the shower stool for secure transfer. The washers that hold the seat of the shower chair in place break regularly (photo 4). Glenn purchased spare washers from the manufacturer so he can repair the stool. He is also considering attaching an \u201cX\u201d brace under the shower stool seat to take the weight off the washers. Glenn has examined other shower stools and does not feel they work as well. The stool legs have to be 25 mm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Bekostad\"><strong>Paid for by<\/strong><br \/>\nCounty council<\/p>\n<p class=\"idea\"><strong>Whose idea<\/strong><br \/>\nGlenn Andersson<\/p>\n<p class=\"rkom\"><strong>Editors comments<\/strong><br \/>\nthis showert stool is not available anymore. There is a renge of different models on the market; it is difficult though to find shower chairs with foldable armrests.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/07\/158_4_duschstol2_600.jpg\" alt=\"Shower stool locked to wheelchair with wheelchair brake\" width=\"600\" height=\"527\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shower stool locked to wheelchair with wheelchair brake<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/07\/158_4_duschplats3_600.jpg\" alt=\"Grab bar\" width=\"600\" height=\"543\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grab bar<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wheelchair is locked to the shower stool for secure transfers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":48675,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[330,317,306],"tags":[467],"class_list":["post-2158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-about-bathroom-30","category-tips-about-washing-oneself-17","category-tips-about-wheelchair-transfer-6","tag-authors_v5","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/07\/158_4_duschstol1_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2158"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253144,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2158\/revisions\/253144"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
