My husband was provided with a bench that had a hole in the center and rails on both sides. He did not sit on the toilet itself but on the bench. If you had that for Mom, she could rock all she wants and not affect the commode. And honey, come see my house. I have “contraptions” in every room. But if it keeps my hubby safe and comfortable, I don’t kvetch.

Is your mother very heavy? I only ask because I can't imagine being able to "rock" a properly installed toilet off it's supports. One solution might be to add an inexpensive toilet seat riser so she can get to her feet more easily, or to place a commode (with splash guard) over the toilet.
