PERSONAL CONTROLNow standing is done easily and independently in the convenience of your own home, in your workplace or in any social setting. With LifeStand it is no longer necessary to be constrained to the use of stationary devices or tilt tables at rehabilitation centers. You now can have all the health benefits and the opportunity to take personal control.
Rediscover a multitude of activities while in the standing position such as: shaking hands with a friend, hugging someone you love, talking with someone eye to eye, reaching higher shelves, doing odd jobs…and your own personal wish list. Allow the impossible to once again become natural and accessible with LifeStand.
EFFORTLESS STANDINGThe ease in which LifeStand products move from sitting to standing position is instantly understood once you have actually experienced this yourself. To gain the greatest possible benefits of standing, it is important that the chair you choose is used consistently. Therefore, the thing to keep in mind when choosing a chair is ease of use. A device that an individual can use independently would be the optimal choice. If independent use is not an option, the method of lifting a person to a standing position must be considered. The LifeStand wheelchairs are easy to use independently and with assistance from a caregiver or with an optional power assist unit.
