Personal hygiene and toileting are essential daily activities that can become challenging with age. Occupational therapy offers various adaptive equipment to make these tasks safer and easier. Grab bars can be installed in bathrooms to provide support when entering or exiting the bath or shower. Shower chairs allow older adults to sit while bathing, reducing the risk of falls. Toilet risers elevate the seat, making it easier to sit down and stand up, and commode chairs ensure safe and comfortable toileting options for those with limited mobility.

Electric wheelchairs with rear controls also present opportunities for technological integration. Many models come equipped with features such as digital displays and wireless connectivity, enabling caregivers to monitor the wheelchair’s battery life and performance through a smartphone application. This fusion of technology and mobility enhances the overall user experience by providing real-time data and alerts.
