Figure 4a:
The
fi xed confi guration
can
be used as a stand-alone unit with the
kneeboard and padded trunk board. It
enables a client to assist in sit-to-stand
for clothing adjustment and hygiene care.
The client may remain in the assisted
upright position for a diaper change or
may return to a sitting position on a rolling
commode or shower chair. When using the
kneeboard, the trunk board cannot pivot.
Figure 4b:
The
pivot confi guration
can
be used as a transfer aid to a stationary
toilet. Without the kneeboard, the padded
trunk board can pivot 180º. Installed near
a standard toilet, a client can use the
Support Station to assist in sit-to-stand
from a wheelchair and rest their torso
on the padded trunk board. Then, while
moving their feet, a client can be pivoted to
a position close to the toilet.
Recommended use
The Rifton Support Station is a Class 1 medical device. It provides front-leaning support
during toileting and hygiene care for children and adults with disabilities. When not in use,
it folds neatly against the wall.
