Runners take the place of the castors on a shower commode, turning a rolling chair into a fixed one. That suits a client who showers in the one spot and needs the chair to stay put, and it takes away the risk of a wheel moving mid transfer or mid shower.
They are supplied as a pair and are a straightforward workshop change, so a chair can be converted if a client’s needs shift or set up this way from the start. For a carer, the payoff is a stable seat they can work around with both hands free.
Worth thinking about where the client is transferred to the chair outside the shower and pushed in, since a fixed chair has to be positioned before the person is seated.
