A handicap tub can help in reducing the risk of injury when bathing. There are numerous features that allow a number of movements and ease in cleansing body parts. Taking care of somebody who has physical disability s made easy through the use of these specialized tubs. Getting inside a bathtub could be dangerous for people who are handicapped. A handicap bathtub provides solutions to this problem. There are numerous types of bathtubs that do not require a person with mobility issues to struggle in getting in a bathtub and getting out of it. Most features promote better support to avoid slips and falling down. Most handicap tubs have doors so that a person would not need to risk slipping or falling when getting inside or outside of a bath tub. Some even make it possible for a person not to get off a wheelchair to get inside and bathe. This idea has been brought about by common knowledge of danger if surroundings are wet and possibilities of being off balanced are high. A walk-in handicapped bathtub, for instance, has numerous support features and has a door that opens outward. A person does not need to climb over the walls of a bath tub like usual. Handicap bars are also attached and a rubber pillow is usually included. Once a disabled person is inside, he or she only needs to push a button and the door is sealed so that water does not spill out when the tub is filled. Even a handicapped tub has its dangers but the numerous support features like non-slip contours and movable shower reduces the risks significantly. There are models that also have “sit and pivot” style chairs to provide ease in transferring from a wheelchair to handicapped tubs. There are also some specialized features that provide hydro massage. Some tubs have temperature control, whirlpool and other hydrotherapy features. The benefits of being submerged in water are encouraged providing relief of pain and other circulatory disorders that may accompany a person’s disability. Some models have handicap bars that support any type of position and are placed wherever safety can be ensured. It is common to see handles near sets and even vertical bars to support standing positions when bathing. Designs have been made for easy access and emergencies like immediate water drainage and push button controls for doors of handicap tubs. The safety and convenience of these types of bath tub makes it a wise to get one for somebody who has physical disability. The comfort and relief that a person with physical disability can get by bathing is enjoyed better and works a lot more effective with the use of these technological advancements.

Illustrated in this article are the most common types of handicapped bathtubs used. These bathtubs can be used to assist a person with mobility issues or has problems with balance and needs all possible support when bathing. There are numerous types of handicapped tubs. They can be used for a wide range of disability and other mobility issues. They help minimize risks and possibilities of injury compared to the hazards of climbing the side of a bath tub to take a bath. People with physical disability have levels of needs that some models are designed to answer. Illustrated below are some of the types of handicapped bathtubs. These will provide information as to which type of handicapped bathtub to use for certain levels of disability. Modified Standard Tub This is actually just a modification of your standard bath tub. A large notch is cut out from the wall of your bath tub to form a U-shaped opening that would serve as a door. After this notch is cut out, another piece replaces it that looks like an integral part of your bath tub. Depending on the extent of modification made, a low step is left to step over. The “door” that is attached will be fixed with water-tight fixtures to prevent water from spilling over during baths or showers. Deep Walk-in Tub This is most suitable for people with minimal disability or impairments that do not need much support when bathing. This type of handicap tub supports both standing sitting positions during baths. Handles or grab bars are attached within arm’s reach. Like the modified standard tub, it also has a door but opens inward. The door is water tight and water is held as the tub fills up during baths. This type of handicapped tub comes in different sizes and shapes. It may occupy the space of your usual bath tub or a limited space that only supports standing positions. A disabled person can be submerged up to the chest area while seated in larger designs and it also comes with back support. Some models even have shower curtains and other features that may be required if showers instead of baths are preferred. Deep Slide-in tub This is the type of handicapped tubs that are most suitable for people who have severe mobility issues like those who are in a wheel chair. It has a “sit and pivot seat” that allows a disabled person to slide to the tub’s seat from a wheel chair. Since this is designed for people who use wheelchairs, it has a door that opens outward to provide full access when using a wheelchair. Regular-depth tub This type of bath tub has a full size power seat that lowers your body to the floor of the handicap tub. It allows you to set yourself in a reclined position like a regular bath tub. It also has a door and some hydrotherapy features. The controls are made closer when in a reclined position for emergencies and ease management. In a nutshell, these tubs give people with physical disability more ease and comfort in bathing. They may be expensive but the benefits that these handicapped bathtubs give are truly rewarding. Learn More about Handicap Bathtub at http://www.handicapbathtub.org/
