Promotes Improved function

• The seat rise function reduces the effort involved with transfers and promotes safety and independence, and minimises fall risk during transfers.
• Reduces the potential levels of need for caregiver support and reduces the risk of caregiver injury and strain when assisting with moving and handling activities.
• With custom seat height and width this chair will meet the needs of most client shapes and sizes.
• In the down position the leg support can be angled behind the front of the seat to accommodate additional calf mass to maintain 90-degree knee flexion and facilitate a safe, stable standing position.
• Facilitates comfortable, supported seated rest opportunities, as needed, promoting energy conservation and activity engagement.
