Narration:
The ability to transfer on and off the toilet can be dramatically improved through the use of a toilet frame with arms. This allows the person to use upper body strength to gradually lower the body to the toilet seat, and push off while rising. The person can hold the side arms for support while you help them pull clothing up or down or help with hygiene tasks. A toilet frame is especially good for people with weak leg muscles and poor balance but who have good upper body strength.
