Technologies for defecation postures

Abstract

An apparatus comprises a walking frame which includes a first side portion, a second side portion, and a front bridge. The first side portion is U-shaped as defined via a first front leg, a first back leg, and a first handle portion spanning therebetween. The second side portion is U-shaped as defined via a second front leg, a second back leg, and a second handle portion spanning therebetween. The first handle portion and the second handle portion extend along a first horizontal plane. The front bridge spans between the first front leg and the second front leg along a second horizontal plane such that the walking frame is U-shaped. The apparatus comprises a back bridge spanning between the first back leg and the second back leg along a third horizontal plane. The first horizontal plane is closer to the second horizontal plane than the third horizontal plane.

1 . An apparatus for aiding in squatting during defecation, the apparatus comprising:
 a walking frame which includes a first lateral side portion, a second lateral side portion, and a front bridge, wherein the first lateral side portion is U-shaped as defined via a first front leg, a first back leg, and a first handle portion spanning therebetween, wherein the second lateral side portion is U-shaped as defined via a second front leg, a second back leg, and a second handle portion spanning therebetween, wherein the first handle portion and the second handle portion extend along a first horizontal plane, wherein the front bridge spans between the first front leg and the second front leg along a second horizontal plane such that the walking frame is U-shaped; and   a back bridge spanning between the first back leg and the second back leg along a third horizontal plane, wherein the first horizontal plane is closer to the second horizontal plane than the third horizontal plane.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the back bridge includes an end portion, wherein the end portion includes a pair of opposing jaws which engage one of the first back leg and the second back leg. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first back leg and the second back leg is configured to support the end portion. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a collar extending about one of the first back leg and the second back leg, wherein the collar supports the end portion.   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the collar is coupled to the end portion. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the collar is coupled to the end portion removably. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a pin, wherein the collar is coupled to one of the first back leg and the second back leg via the pin.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the pin is a locking pin. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where the back bridge includes a pair of opposing end portions, wherein each of the opposing end portions includes a pair of jaws defining an open space therebetween, wherein the pairs of jaws engage the first back leg and the second back leg in the open spaces. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the back bridge is configured for pivoting about a vertical axis via at least one of the first back leg and the second back leg. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the back bridge is configured for pivoting about a horizontal axis via at least one of the first back leg and the second back leg.
