A study has shown that using the Carevo, an ergonomic and adjustable height shower trolley, reduces the static physical overload experienced by caregivers compared to when they use a standard shower trolley.
The use of height adjustable devices when bathing or showering patients enables caregivers to work at their correct ergonomic height, reducing the static load on their musculoskeletal system and subsequent risk of injury and long term damage.
The design of the Carevo shower trolley is to enable the caregiver to get closer to the resident/patient and hence further reduce caregiver static load while showering patients. Results of these recent studies illustrate the advantages of using this equipment over washing a person within their bed and also on a standard width and static height shower trolley.
