110 degrees
110 degrees of knee movement is what you need to get up off a toilet seat.
Per my orthopedic doc. So there ya go... |

In some countries you have to actally squat on your ankles to use the facilities. I'd imagine that would require more like 180degree's of movement

That's because your not holding your ankles.

As one who has gone through extensive physical therapy to regain movement in the knee, I knew what this thread was about before reading it!

I've spent the last day trying to straighten my leg out so I can put an immobilizing brace on. The ortho guy said it is a lot easier to get movement back starting from a straight leg rather than trying to straighten a bent one. I'm almost there...but I've always had really tight hamstrings so straightening my leg when it was healthy was a challenge...
And I can pee from the toilet to the shower no problem (prostate is fine). I just choose not to do so. |

You need a higher toilet, slightly tilted toward the front. That way one could almost administer a dump with a straight line from ankle to hip.

 As one who spent many months recovering from a very bad break to my tibia and fibia (foot as well), I sympathise with the knee issue...nothing hurt more than getting movement back to the knee after being immobilized for a time. But, for the love of pete, buck up
