Tilt in Space

Tilt in space shower commodes allow the whole seat to tilt backwards while the hip and knee angles stay the same. This provides postural support and pressure relief for people who cannot sit upright for the length of a shower, and helps carers manage hair washing and personal care safely.

Tilt in space is worth considering for users with reduced trunk control, fatigue, spasticity or a high risk of sliding forward. Assess the tilt range needed, headrest and lateral support, leg rest style and whether a soft or contoured seat is required. Confirm the safe working load and that the tilted footprint still fits the bathroom.
