Perching stool

Perching stools enable you to 'semi-sit' while carrying out personal care. This can help reduce strain from standing for long periods or getting up and down from a full seated position. You can use it at the sink, or in the shower providing it has non-corrosive parts. 

Remember

Always follow the manufacturers guidelines 

Make sure the stool is adjusted for your height and is not a trip hazard.

Never use a walking frame to hold onto whilst standing from a toilet, as it is not designed for this purpose and could easily tip over.

The person using the stool should have good balance
