Seating is engineered to be comfortable and functional. The chairs enhance the patient's ability to achieve a higher level of independence by maximizing sit to stand capability. Patient effort and risk associated with it is reduced with the "lifting" injury to the caregiver. The "hip" chair technology establishes a new standard in seat height, seat width, and footrest design which combines to protect orthopedic post surgical joints during rehabilitation. Bariatric chairs offer obese patients an increase in weight capacities while combining biomechanical advantages found in orthopedic products.
