Standing wheelchair

A standing wheelchairs (also known as a standing chair) is assistive technology, similar to a standing frame, that allows wheelchairs user to raise the chair from a seated to a standing position. The standing wheelchairs supports the person in a standing position and enables interaction with people and objects at eye level.

Types and function
Three variations of standing wheelchairs[1] are available:
Manual - Chair mobility and lifting mechanisms are not powered.
Half-power - Chair features powered mobility but manual lifting mechanisms.
Full-power - Chair features powered mobility and hydraulic or otherwise powered lifting mechanisms.

Standing wheelchairs can be either manually or power-operated, and are used both to achieve regular mobility and to stand the person up using hydraulics or other power sources. Some standing wheelchairs may be driven from the standing position, however there is some medical concern of an increased risk of long bone fractures while driving due to the legs being under a heavy load.


Feature Packed and Easy to Use:

The manual standing wheelchairs comes standard with removable push handles, twin gas cylinders, vinyl coated push rims, and 24" pneumatic spoke rear wheels. Now, add in padded arm rests, padded knee supports, swing-away legrest (that can flip up to aid in transfer), and you'll see how easy and safe it is to stand up for yourself.
