Abstract

Human posture is the arrangement of body parts where they interact with each other to perform any action or task. This indicates that any posture can result in different consequences towards the parts altogether as they are connected and interacted to each other. This same goes to the sitting posture applied for using sitting toilet during bowl elimination as they are reportedly causing invisible threat to human health such as constipation, hemorrhoids, colitis, appendicitis and colon cancer. Even though Squatty Potty has contributed to solve the problem by granting their user to perform squatting posture when using sitting toilet, a better and healthier squatting posture than normal squatting posture can be implemented if it is proven beneficial. A field survey on the squatting stool also reveals that almost half of the objects agreed to use the stool if it is proven useful and in a situation where the stool is designed for user to use comfortably in sense of user-friendly and easily applicable as first priority. It was also found out that acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is more suitable than polypropylene homopolymer to fabricate the toilet stool as it can withstand more weight and pressure that act upon it.
