The Ascender product line reduces patient effort and risk associated with rising from a chair while lessening the chance of a “lifting” injury to the caregiver. The Ascender Hip Chair helps the patient exit and enter the chair more easily and independently, while at the same time providing unparalleled comfort, support and proper seating alignment. Extended armrests eliminate forward trunk lean. Ergonomic glide-a-way footrest adjusts to two height and depth positions. Back adjusts to four positions. Ascender Deluxe’s patented footrest rises to height of the seat cushion for use as a stump rest. Some assembly required.
