Can this Ezcare folding walker be used in a shower stall?

It is aluminum and has rubber hand grips and feet. I see no reason why it could not be used in the shower. As one would expect, care should obviously be taken not to slip or overbalance, but that should not be solely a function of use of the walker, just common sense.

I'm sure it could be used as long as there is a rubber mat in the shower, the legs would grip better to the rubber. If you try it, make sure someone is there to assist at first, and you are totally comfortable. If it was me, I would buy one of those plastic shower stools that they sell, they're inexpensive and better suited. Since I progressed relatively quickly from my hip replacement I only used the walker for one week after I returned home, then started using a cane and stood up in the shower with no difficulty. Good luck if you try it, but I would recommend the stool.

it comes ready to use; as for using as a shower stool, I would say no, because it is not very high (it would depend on your size (height and weight).

I doubt it. Plus the cart is very low so to push it around, you'd have to bend over quite a bit. I personally use it for bathroom supplies only.

Yes; though, I don't use it for that. The unit is so tall that it may look funny or awkward with a tub. I will say, however, this was an AWESOME purchase and we are totally satisfied with the product! It is in our guest bathroom and regularly take showers there just to use the panel! Feel free to ask me any more questions!

I do not know if it can be used as a shower stool. I would imagine it could slip. It comes completely ready for use and is very sturdy

I don't see why not. My shower has a curb similar to a tub, and it installed just fine. o note the height of this model--it may be too high for your space.

yes... we first practiced with it in our walk in shower before we took mom-in-law to my brother-in-law's. They only have a tub. If your person can't lift their legs well, this is great to go over the 4" ledge of a walk-in shower - however - you can't have doors on the shower... only a curtain.

The slide bar would not be secure enough for holding when getting in and out of the shower, as would a handicap bar. It's not flimsy but the upper and lower connectors are of a heavy plastic as is the movable shower handle caddy. All that being said, I really like it and have found it easy to move the connector up and down the bar conveniently. No issues with the unit at all.

I don't think it would make sense for a corner unit. The arch doesn't seem that it is great enough. However it may work if you install the unit inside the shower further than you would for a typical tub install? Best bet is to measure the span per the specs in the description. Good luck...

If the tub is bigger than a standard size tub, it will work. I use mine outside my shower stall in my motor home because the shower is elevated and it's a long step down. Hope that helps. If it doesn't work for you, you can always return it.

I am not sure it would be a good idea to continually get it wet. I would stick with one designated as a shower wheelchair.

My opinion - no. You need 4 points of contact. Get shower seat from Med Supply or some drugstores. You need more stability than the 3 legs provide. Good for cane with seat for short rests.

Can this unit be used in a bathroom which includes a shower (and thus a certain amount of humidity)?

Only one dryer at a time will fit across my tub because of the location of the soap holder. The ledge is narrower on that side so it isn't very secure. It would be iffy at best.

it's rather large for a shower stall but the bathroom - yes. water is not a friend of wood sealed or not.

I believe so if it is only slightly textured. I don't have the mat anymore (because we had a tiled floor) or I'd test it out for you. If you're talking the typical kind of shower floor that has just a bit of "scoring" so you don't slip, I think it would work fine.

Mines in my shower. But it's the guest bath, not an everyday use thing, but I would think so- it that perminent- sticker like adhesive, not the stick & move kind! Good solid size too- online stuff tends to be very small!
