Abstract (en)

A wheelchair has a seat member (2), held in a substantially horizontal position in a normal configuration. The seat member (2) is hinged to the frame of the wheelchair and pivotable downwardly into a toileting configuration. The wheelchair is movable rearwardly to locate it around a toilet having a toilet seat (23), such that an occupant of the wheelchair can sit on the toilet seat. A garment for use with the wheelchair includes a flap (30) in a seat of the garment, defined by two slits (26), one on each side, as well as a rear portion of a waist hem (28) of the garment. A fastener (34) connects the flap (30) to the seat member (2) of the wheelchair, so that as the seat member falls, it pulls down the flap.
