One note: A mistake that I always seem to make (and you referred to this a bit in the toileting section) is not giving enough room to swing the "butt petals" out; they often hit the bars, or wall mounted soap dispensers in my facility's showers. Occasionally I have found it useful to come into the toilet at a slight angle for this reason.
Good point. Yep I do the same thing. I usually put down the bed grab bars too when assisting the pt back to bed. It’s annoying for the patient but it’s much easier getting them high in the bed.
Would love to see more videos showing how to use equipment like this in OT
Noted!
What is your understanding of whether the Stedy can be used as a shower chair itself?
I use it with my patients all the time.
Can you leave a patient on their own in the shower?
It depends on their balance and cognition.
