About The Ultimate Shower chair

Assistive Innovation designer Gary Brinkmann was inspired to develop The Ultimate Shower Chair by his wife, Connie, who has been living with Multiple Sclerosis for several years. As Connie's MS progressed, she was experiencing greater fears of getting injured in the bathtub. She was uneasy about being transferred across an unsecured bench over the side of the tub onto a standard bath chair. Although Connie is petite, it was an awkward transfer for both care provider and client.

"It was unstable and uncomfortable," says Connie. "It was scary for me and I didn't feel very safe."

The Brinkmanns were urged to consider a special lift device to reduce the risk of injury to either Connie or her care providers. The contraption being recommended is slipped and secured underneath the client; it then lifts her in the air and swings her to the intended location.

"It's got to be the most demeaning thing you can imagine," says Connie, shaking her head. "There goes your self-respect - you're hanging there like a bag of potatoes in this sling."

Her husband didn't like the idea either.

"I said, 'that's not going to happen to you'," Gary recalls. "So that's when I developed this bath-tub chair. I wanted to design something that was safe, and gives Connie her dignity too."

Gary said the occupational therapists encouraged him and they love the chair as much as Connie does.
