Tailor-style position on toilet makes it possible for a quadriplegic to take care of bowel management independently
Description
User transfers to toilet chair. He positions the wheelchair at a 90 degree angle in front of the toilet, about 50-60 cm from the toilet and places both feet on the wheelchair exactly in front of the front wheel that is closest to the toilet. He places his feet together and thighs outwards so that he sits in a "tailor style" position. Then he places the mirror on his feet so he can see the anal opening. He inserts the catheter or adapted microlax syringe, depending on which method he uses.
