Hello, I was wondering whether anyone has ever come across a shower chair which allows the client to be tilted forward into a kneeling or "all-fours" position, in order to allow easy access to their posterior region? The device would necessarily have to support the client at various points along the front of their body, and it should be possible to move the original seat and backrest out of the way. I think such a chair would be very useful for changing pads, properly cleaning and drying the buttock area, or for dealing with any sores there, without the need for the client stand up or be hoisted to bed. I can't find anything remotely like it on the Web; maybe there's a very good reason for not doing this. Would anyone know more about it? Thank you.
