Abstract:
An assistive toileting apparatus that is operable by a caretaker, allowing an individual to transition more readily from a wheelchair to a commode. A horizontal platform supports a first vertical tilt platform and a second vertical tilt platform and is slidably engaged with a frame. The first vertical tilt platform supports, secures, and tilts the wheelchair to assist the individual into a standing position. The horizontal platform can then be slid from the frame, such that first vertical tilt platform is displaced and the second vertical tilt platform is positioned behind the individual. The individual can then sit down on a commode seat provided by the second vertical tilt platform. Once finished, the commode seat can be tilted upward to assist the individual into the standing position. A control system allows the caregiver to operate the first vertical tilt platform and the second vertical tilt platform while assisting the individual.
