Abstract
Posture on the toilet is an important consideration during micturition. The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the effects of posture on micturition in the lean forward and squatting positions. The participants were 54 volunteers who acted as their own controls. Uroflowmetric parameters were studied in each position. The two issues that arose from the study were 'squatability' and the differences in uroflowmetric parameters. Essentially there were no statistically significant differences found in our study population but the ability to squat in our population of volunteers was quite poor.
