One effective way to increase your comfort and ease of movement in older age is with a power lift chair. Power lift recliners make use of the latest ergonomic technology to maximize your comfort and make sitting down and standing up easy and painless.

The assistance from the chair makes it easy for someone who needs the extra help to remain independent. By taking the painful standing or sitting motion out of the equation, you won’t need the assistance of someone else. This can be a life-changing upgrade for many people.

The lift chair has a control button that can lay the chair down for you to sleep, watch TV, or relax. It also has a button that raises the back of the chair so it raises the hips over the knees to an almost standing position.

Now that you are almost standing, you just straighten your back and you are ready to walk. Without a lift chair, people who are dependent most often have to rely on others, and wait until they can be assisted.

There’s a library of research showing how these mobility supports can support transitional movement, along with a host of other benefits. Because of their therapeutic and mobility-focused functions, lift chairs are widely recommended by doctors. 

Research has also shown that lift chairs can reduce pain and increase comfort. The most significant benefit of a lift chair is that it can reduce the risk of injury, as the person can stand on their own, or able to attempt to transfer to a standing position with support.
