Powerlift & Recline Chairs
Chairs
How to choose your Lift Recline Chair
Lift recline chairs assist users in rising from a seated position. Operated by a handset, these chairs raise to
help users safely transfer to or from a near-standing position. This feature is beneficial for those with poor
upper body strength, instability, or weak leg function.
A
Chair/Seat Width
Determines the width at the widest part of the person
(buttocks, hips, or knees). The ideal seat width would have
approximately 2-5 cm space allowance at either side of
the width measurement to ensure that it does not put any
undue pressure on the sides of the body and legs.
B
Seat-to-floor Height
Ensure the seat height is low enough that the user can
reach their bottom back to safely utilise the whole seat
and safely balanced sit, whilst not being too low to prevent
them getting back up. Their feet should be flat on the floor.
C
Seat Depth
Determines the ideal seat length, measure from the back of
the buttocks to behind the knee and subtract 2-5 cm. When
seated upright, there should be a 2-3 finger-width gap
behind the knee to avoid pressure that could
affect circulation.

Heel Placement
The end of the leg raiser should reach to the back of the
ankle (in line with the ankle bone) when in the raised-up
position. This is to avoid any undue pressure on the heel.

D
Armrest Height
Make sure the shoulder is supported, but not unnaturally
high. The user's elbow should be bent at 90 degrees and
sit comfortably on the armrest.
F
Backrest Height
Determines the length from the top of a person’s head to
the seat.
All measurements are in millimetres unless otherwise specified.
Correct measurement and sizing of the chair are essential to meet the
user's needs and prevents causing undue problems
