Toilet - Diagonal Positioning

Diagonal Positioning

Advantages:

  • Compared to side set up, there is slightly less force loading across all the joints on both arms during transfers
  • Close wheelchair positioning may significantly reduce this loading

Disadvantages:

  • Due to lack of space and accessibility, there could be a large distance and angle between the wheelchair and toilet during transfers
