Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
Backless shower stools are suitable for patients with adequate trunk control who require seated height support only. CQC Regulation 12 requires that bathing equipment selection is based on individual mobility assessment. Patients with reduced trunk control should be assessed for a stool with backrest or a full shower chair with armrests.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a shower stool and a shower chair?
A shower stool is a compact, typically backless seat for patients with good trunk control. A shower chair has a full backrest and sometimes armrests, providing greater stability for patients with reduced trunk control or higher falls risk. The stool is more compact and portable; the chair provides broader physical support.
How should rubber feet be maintained?
Inspect rubber feet before each use to confirm they are intact and provide secure grip on wet surfaces. Replace any feet that show signs of wear, hardening, or loss of grip. Worn feet on wet surfaces create a slip hazard during patient use.
