At doctor appointments I request a chair with arms because of the difficulty I have with low chairs.

It is a very common issues before and after surgery due to pain, weakness, and range of motion limitations. Hopefully, you can try some of these tips and it will make this task easier for you!

I have limited mobility and walk with a four-wheeled walker (rollator). Arthritis in my knees means that I cannot sit on low chairs and toilets, and I certainly cannot stand up from them. At home I use a toilet seat riser with arms which works well. However out in the community is a different issue. Even the disabled toilets are too low for me. I am gradually getting stronger by doing my rehab exercises, but in the meantime I found a product which is a game changer for me. It is called the Free2Go Rollator. It is a rollator which has a toilet seat under the main seat. It means I can use public bathrooms safely.

Thank you for watching and sharing! I’ve never seen this but it definitely would be a really good piece of equipment for any one with difficult getting up from low seats / toilets!

Best tip - just don’t sit in a low chair. Use a chair with arms. Also, I have a removable plastic toilet seat extension that raises the toilet seat level by 4”. It is lifesaver. It is light, so can travel if needed. The difference is unbelievable. Readily available, so no problems there.

For me its getting up from the toilet…..and my surgery for knee replacement is on the 21 of december……. I have been using my arms to get myself up and now both shoulders hurt like the dickens…..

This is a common issue. You may want to consider installing some grab bars near the toilet to help pull up, a toilet frame with bars on the side, and / or a raised toilet seat. Best of luck with your upcoming surgery!

Hello, about 2 years ago I slipped and fell and broke my left knee. It healed without surgical intervention but required keeping my leg straight 100% of the time, non weight bearing for 8 weeks. I was shocked at how after those 8 weeks I had to be retrained on how to walk, it didn’t occur naturally. Started with using a cane and gradually was able to walk without a cane. However to this day I have lost significant strength and endurance in my legs. I cannot go from sitting to standing without using my upper arms to get myself up? What the heck is wrong? I’m 55 y/o and still with extremely weak leg strength

Having a broken bone and being immobilized for 8 weeks is a traumatic event and a lot for your leg and body to go through. First you want to consider if you have good range of motion in the knee, able to bend and straighten adequately. If your range of motion is good, the other thing is just continuing to build back strength. Muscle atrophy and weakness can persist for a very long time. I recommend connecting with a PT or good trainer who can instruct you in a progressive strengthening program that you can perform a few times a week. Hope this helps!

How do you get of loo

All the same principles apply. For the bathroom I also recommend making use of equipment... toilet frame with grab bars on each side, grab bars installed on the wall, and / or a raised toilet seat.
