Are you sitting comfortably..? Using the commode or toilet
Going to the toilet often needs concentration, which can be difficult if you feel unsafe or unbalanced.
When using the commode or toilet try:
- having your feet supported or lifted up slightly higher than normal on a low foot stool
- putting a cushion in your back so you are leaning forwards slightly
- having a small table in front of you to lean on
