A Lift chair’s Role in Post-Surgical Recovery

We regularly think that lift chairs are used only by older adults, but there is a huge population that can benefit from the use of lift chairs. Currently, many doctors prescribe them for the recovery of hip, knee, back, neck, abdominal, chest, ankle or foot surgeries. The fact that the chair facilitates standing and offers comfortable sitting makes it ideal for post-surgical recovery. Lift chairs are included within the range of ergonomic furniture, meaning they facilitate certain postures and keep the user's functionality to the maximum with the minimum possible energy cost.

Ergonomics is the study of human adaptation to objects and environments. Three points are considered in ergonomic designs:

• Hours of use per day

• Physical characteristics of the user

• Characteristics of the equipment including any accessories or mechanisms

Anyone who has loss of muscle strength, decreased range or pain in their joints, delayed reflexes, fragile bones, delayed tissue regeneration with the possibility of pressure ulcers should consider a suitable seating system. These symptoms are not pathological per se but can get worse with time.
