Aid to standing up

[Ellie]

Albert would love to be able to stand up - he's sick of the "Wheelchair Position" been like this now for 11 months

Pity those fancy wheelchairs which can 'stand up' are so darn expensive... xx

I have two zimmers but I have yet to need them. Soon methinks. 😁😉😘😍xx

My wife and I I have found the sit and stand riser invaluable. For getting me up from the wheelchair outsde seating and dining table chair
Expensive but for me good value

[denise]

any more news on the inflatable riser?

[Ellie]

I would love to stand just for 10 minutes

I can only stand for a few mins in hoist with the sling giving support, but yes, it's lovely to be upright for the view 😊

And what I wouldn't give to scratch an itch... 😘

[bromleycross]

Oh yes we would - very jealous though as I would love to stand just for 10 minutes
On the other hand I can still scratch my nose so should be grateful for small mercies xx

Ellie what sort of standing hoist do you have?
My legs are useless but still have strength in both arms but left hand has become a bit weak.

I'm the opposite to you Jane - arms are totally useless but my legs can weight bear, although they don't have much movement, so I use a standing hoist for transfers.

We'd make a sort of functioning body between us 😉😍😍

PeterPan If you do buy one Peter, will you do a product review here for us please?

Thanks a mill. xx

Of course. There are some mixed reviews but probably worth trying. Personally I’m ok in my rise and recline chair at home, but I’d like a bit more dignity and independence when out of the house!

Taff Price search for uplift seat or upeasy seat instead. They look great and could meet one of my growing needs

hi sounds interesting, i looked on amazon for sit and stand inflatable riser, but found nothing, have you got anymore info on it?

[sunset709]

Thanks for he good wishes and suggestions

Since diagnosis I find it hard to make decisions.

But I finally found a sit and stand riser which is electric and inflates. Can be used on benches outside seats and a wheelchair. So ordered one on line Amazon actually. So if not any good can return

That carex seat looks very interesting. This is a problem I will have with Stephen. Getting him out of the car or off a chair if we are out on our own. His hands are a problem and there's no strength in his arms. I shall definately be interested in something like that. Thanks for that.
