When seeing a person sitting in wheelchair, we often think person can’t do anything or their life must be hard or they can’t socialise because they are disabled and so on. However that’s the wrong perception as people on wheelchairs are just as different from each other as we are from everybody else in the world.

Lift chairs are helpful for patients who are still able to sit and walk, but find it difficult to get up from chairs normally without assistance. Lift chairs features motors on them, which does much of the work in getting users to a standing position. As a result of this there is less muscle strain on the user which lowers the risk of injury or fatigue.

Lift chairs are helpful for aged care residents to get up as the chairs can tilt forward allowing them to slightly stand before being able to stand up by themselves. However there are also lift chairs that can cater to bariatric patients and they are equally just as effective and useful as normal lift chairs.
