For many people with a functional restriction,
requiring aid to sit down and stand up from a toilet is a familiar and daily
recurring problem. Traditional handles or a raised toilet are recommended to
make it easier to stand up. These solutions are a welcome aid, but sometimes
fall short to offer support during the entire trajectory from sitting to a
standing position.
ProGrip offers people with a functional disorder or restricted stability more
independence to stand up from a toilet on their own.
Based on an extensive study and numerous field tests, Handicare Bathroom Safety
has developed a product that is in sync with the acts and movements of the human
body in this specific situation.
Uniquely this product is that is has been developed from the movements of the
user. ProGrip stimulates a natural standing-up movement by supporting the
forearm. It is this support, that makes sure that the user subconsciously
divides their strength over all useful muscles.
Therefore standing up independently requires less strain or even becomes
possible again with the full use of ones focused ability.
The special developed wall fixture makes sure that Progrip can be mounted
solidly and in the correct position on a side wall. This ergonomic product is
suitable for usage anywhere, at home or in public locations and rehabilitation
centres. ProGrip is available in a left hand and a right hand variant.
