Abstract: A body support and positioning apparatus and system for seated-position toilet use provides two levers, two stanchions, a platform, a crosspiece, two stop and release mechanisms, each providing a swinging support strut, a hinge to allow pivoting motion about the hinge, a flexible wire segment, a stiff wire segment, and a trigger mechanism. An embodiment of the apparatus and system is configured about the sides and front of a toilet to provide a body support system for squatting into a position for optimal bowel movement evacuation. Embodiments of the apparatus and system provide adjustable stanchion height and assembly, as well as varied platform, crosspiece, and support strut combinations.
