Is a 3 in 1 Commode or Raised Toilet Seat Enough?

A 3 in 1 commode or raised toilet seat is a very useful device in making the bathroom safer and preventing falls, however many medical professionals including doctors, physical therapists and home health workers suggest that grab bars should be used in conjunction with a 3 in 1 commode or raised toilet seat for optimal bathroom safety.

Howard Cohen, a physical therapist and grab bar installation specialist has reported that Mr. Grab Bar of Boynton Beach has had many customers who have had both grab bars and a 3 in 1 commode added to their bathroom. The reason is that 3 in 1 commodes do not address the entire range of motions involved in transitioning between sitting and standing. With strategically placed grab bars, assistance can be provided to all the motions involved.
