The bath chair features a front-positioned backrest, allowing elderly users to naturally hold onto it without excessive bending, making sitting down easier. The chest support provides comfortable reinforcement, reducing fatigue. By placing the backrest at the front, users can hold onto it naturally while sitting down, eliminating the need to bend their waist and enabling a smooth transition onto the chair.
This design improves the safety and comfort of traditional bath chairs during the seating process. Conventional bath chairs require users to hold onto the armrests and rotate their body to sit, but elderly individuals may slip on wet floors or misjudge the seat position, increasing the risk of falling.
