Technical note—“Lawry” rotary attachment for paraplegics

Pages 174-175 | Published online: 12 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Paraplegics usually transfer from wheelchair to water closet by side, rear or front approach. This necessitates removal of the arm support or back rest and sitting on the water closet in opposite to normal direction. The author has designed a rotary attachment which enables the patients to approach from the front and transfer easily so as to sit in the normal direction on the water closet without removal of the arm support or back rest. Further, this device enables the patient to move away from the water closet for washing purposes without having to get up from the water closet seat.
