Considerations

Caution
* Ensure that height is adjusted on all four legs so that shower stool sits
squarely on floor
* Ensure that the height adjustment buttons protrude fully through the outer leg

General considerations
* Shower stools are free standing and tend to have little or no back support. Some stools have an optional back support that can be fitted to the stool
* Check that the load capacity of the stool is suitable for the user
* The load capacity of the product may be reduced if the user applies weight unevenly, forcefully or positions the stool unevenly
* The stool height is important to consider. It will effect how easily the user can stand from the chair. Most stools are height adjustable.
* Shower stools may have tubular armrests or side handles.
* There may be a risk of the stool tipping if too much uneven pressure is applied to the armrests (if fitted)
* When considering whether to use a shower chair or stool ensure that the shower tray / cubicle is large enough to accommodate the stool / chair as well as the length of the seated person and his/her knees and feet.

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
