standing wheelchair
Vertical position device
A standing wheelchair is a wheelchair that allows the user to move from a seated to a standing position while remaining in the chair.
The mechanism raises the seat and provides support to hold the body upright, enabling users to reach higher surfaces, interact at eye level with standing people, and gain health benefits from weight-bearing: Her standing wheelchair lets her work at a standard-height counter.
