Children's cerebral palsy is a serious and complex disease, which is accompanied by disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the functionality of the brain.
Children with cerebral palsy need intensive care, and in order to make their life comfortable, special aids are needed.
In particular, to care for a child with cerebral palsy, you may need a toilet chair. Such chairs have a convenient design and are available in various modifications.
Armchair toilet is intended for the care of children with disabilities in medical institutions and at home. Thanks to such devices, care for patients is greatly facilitated, and the child feels much more comfortable.
Convenient mobile toilet with sanitary equipment solves a lot of problems, and its purchase will be really expedient if the patient is inactive and excessively weakened.
What to consider when buying
There are many varieties of toilet chairs that are suitable for children with cerebral palsy, and it is extremely important to make the right choice.
It should be noted that such chairs are not connected to the sewerage system, therefore it is necessary to dispose of the contents of a demountable vessel manually. The main thing that should be paid attention when buying a chair is the weight of the child.
The patient should fit comfortably in his toilet stool. There are two categories of seats differing in terms of maximum load:
- traditional( up to 120 kg);
- reinforced( up to 200 kg).
In addition to weight, it is extremely important to be able to adjust the seat height level. To avoid injury, the height of the chair should be 
such that the feet are completely standing on the floor, and the legs are bent at an angle of 90 degrees.
Also, it is worth paying attention to the presence of armrests that will provide the child with additional support when transplanting into a chair and lifting.
An important criterion of choice is the shape and dimensions of the toilet slot. It should ideally fit the patient, given that he can lose or gain weight. Too much slit will lead to slipping of the child's thighs, and an excessively small opening will cause hygienic problems.
It is advisable to choose a toilet chair made of lightweight materials so that it can be easily transported. In this case, all the details of the chair must be resistant to corrosion and easy to wash. Execute regular sanitization requires not only the seat of the chair, but also its other parts.
