I love this support! It was a big help for my mom yesterday when using a public rest room at her semi annual appt with her gerontologist. My mom cannot lift her arms very high, so even the bars on the walls adjacent to accessible toilets are tough for her to use. I brought this mobile support for her to lean on while I assisted her with standing from the toilet. (I also bring a mobile commode riser, and this helps her feel more confident, as she does at home with her riser which has support arms installed on both sides.) I also used this support when helping her out of the car and into the wheelchair so she didn't need to reach for the car door.
Note: We did a few run throughs at home with her O.T. prior to this and had to remind my mom to press "downward" on the support, not "outward," since it will move if you push strongly outward on it. But, otherwise, it is very stable (no wobbling at all, as happened with another, similar support I purchased and returned). And this is so light that I was able to transport it easily with her wheelchair. (I was able to tuck it upside down, behind the vertical support pilow at the back of her her wheelchair seat and then I hung her light, foldable walker on that. (She used the walker to get from her wheelchair to the commode in the accessible bathroom.) It worked out beautifully. It may sound like a lot of equipment, but it really wasn't when all neatly organized together. I'll try to take a picture to post with this in case it might help you! I was very grateful that someone helped me with the arrangement of the equipment so I want to "pay it forward" if I can!
