Relieve the pressure.
The FootStool is used mainly as support under the feet during transfers to reduce pressure underneath the thighs. It is also a practical aid to provide a better sitting position on the toilet.
For a sitting transfer from a wheelchair, the FootStool is often used in combination with the EasyGlide sliding board. An indentation in the front edge of the FootStool enables the carer to stand as close as possible, which gives a better posture. In the rear edge there is a more shallow indentation for a toilet chair or other obstacles.
