  In addition, since the chair side plate is fixedly provided in the above chair, the cared person can only sit from the front in the open state, and the caregiver can transfer the cared person, First, using both arms, support the cared person in a standing position, move the cared person to the front of the chair while maintaining that position, change the direction, and seat the cared person Needed troublesome work. Therefore, the caregiver's labor is very large, and there was even a danger that the cared person would fall out of the caregiver's arm during the transfer work.

  Similarly, since the side plate is fixedly provided, the side plate becomes obstructive, and it is difficult to turn the hand to the back and buttocks when wiping the body. It was difficult for him to hold his shoulder and accompany him.

In addition, the above-described chair has a disadvantage in that the assembly structure is complicated and the assembly work is troublesome, and it is necessary to fix the chair to stable furniture, so that the installation place is limited.
