Sit and stand frame and perch frame
August 24th, 2008There are a number of useful accessories available to enhance and complement the use of a stairlift. These accessories are designed and manufactured that they will provide maximum comfort and convenience to the user.
For instance, the sit and stand frame allows a stairlift user to choose the option of either the normal seated position or standing on the footrest, holding on to a special folding steady, security bar. The idea is to provide greater stability while ascending or descending the stairs in either position.
It is ideal for those who may have difficulty in bending their knees, or in case multiple users with different needs will be using the stairlift. There is also the perch model stairlift suitable for specific users.
The sit and stand frames as well as the perch frames are both modified versions of the normal stair lift frame. A perch frame is quite similar to the sit and stand frame but for the fact that it is designed to allow usage of the stairlift in a perched position. This is again recommended for users who have problem bending at the knees.
