What is an Aqua Style Rigid Sided Footbox?

An Aqua Style Rigid Sided Footbox is a specialist shower chair accessory designed to support and protect the feet and lower legs during bathing and personal care. The rigid side panels help keep the feet correctly positioned while improving stability and comfort.

Why choose a rigid sided footbox instead of a soft sided footbox?

A rigid sided footbox provides greater lateral support and helps maintain foot alignment for users with increased muscle tone, involuntary leg movements, or complex postural needs. It offers more structure than a soft sided footbox while still providing comfort and protection.

Which shower chairs are the Aqua Style Rigid Sided Footboxes compatible with?

The Aqua Style Rigid Sided Footboxes are designed for compatible shower chairs from leading manufacturers, including selected models from Prism Medical, Invacare Ocean, Etac, Osprey, Raz Design, and Freeway. If you are unsure about compatibility, our team will be happy to advise.

Are the Aqua Style Rigid Sided Footboxes suitable for pressure care?

Yes. By supporting the feet and lower legs in a stable position, the footboxes help reduce unnecessary movement and improve comfort. They are designed to support good pressure care practices as part of an overall seating and positioning programme.

Who can benefit from using a rigid sided footbox?

The footboxes are ideal for: Care home residents Hospital patients Rehabilitation patients Wheelchair users transferring to shower chairs Individuals with neurological conditions Users requiring enhanced lower limb positioning and stability

Featuring rigid side panels, these specialist footboxes offer greater support than soft-sided alternatives, helping to maintain correct foot alignment and improve lower limb control during showering, toileting, and personal care.

Designed for users with complex seating and positioning needs, the rigid construction helps reduce unwanted foot movement while supporting individuals with neurological conditions, increased muscle tone, muscle weakness, or reduced lower limb control. By keeping the feet comfortably positioned, the footbox promotes improved posture and greater confidence during bathing.
