Walkers: Bathing

Note: Try to make sure surfaces are dry before you walk on them. Non-skid mats can help prevent falls.

Special shower chairs and tub benches are available for use while bathing. These chairs help you bathe safely. Ask your health care provider where you can get one.

Back up over the lip of the shower stall with your good leg until you feel the shower chair behind you. Reach back for the shower chair first with one hand, then the other, as you begin to sit down.

2.

Lower yourself onto the chair. Lift each foot and turn to face the faucet.
