An assistive apparatus with a backrest assembly is disclosed to solve one of the problems of conventional toilet seats in lacking proper back support for individuals. The assistive apparatus also helps to put individuals sitting further forward to help the individuals to use the toilet much more easily. The assistive apparatus provides an adjustable toilet backrest assembly for supporting a human back. The backrest assembly includes a backrest pad, a top support frame connected to the backrest pad, and a bottom support frame. The backrest pad is designed to relieve pressure on the back of a person. The back support portion comprises a backrest frame and a back pad attached on the backrest frame for supporting the human back. The backrest frame provides means for adjusting height of the back pad to accommodate different height of the human back. The angle adjustment portion connects to the back support portion with the toilet mounting portion and provides an angle adjustment means for different position of sitting on toilet.

An assistive apparatus with adjustable height is designed to be placed on or about a toilet such that when an individual uses the toilet the weight of the individual is transferred to the assistive apparatus and not directly on the toilet, avoiding distribution of heavy weight to the toilet itself. The invention also includes a powered lifting mechanism to aid the individual in utilizing a toilet. The powered lifting mechanism includes a pair of lift arm assemblies which are driven by a motor at both sides to raise and lower the assistive platform and be tilted between a first stationery position and a second tilted position, tilted at an angle (a) in a vertical Z direction from a horizontal plane. The front and back supporting legs are used to provide sturdy structural support for a person's weight whiling sitting on the assistive apparatus atop of a toilet.
