The tilting action of the riser recliner seems like a simple addition that transfers the user to a more relaxed posture. In reality, there are several real benefits that a reclined posture brings to the table. Elevating the legs and reclining the back reduces pressure on blood vessels and encourages better blood flow, particularly in the lower limbs. By reclining and lifting the legs above heart level, fluid is encouraged to drain more efficiently from the feet and ankles.
The rising action on riser recliners is probably the simplest benefit to notice. Those suffering from mobility issues, be it due to age, injury or illness, may struggle when getting in and out of an armchair. With a riser recliner, the rising action makes transfer effortless. The chair can raise the user up to a near-standing position without effort or exertion.
All of the riser recliners that are available on the Able-Aid storefront are equipped with a simple control panel. Equipped with buttons that automatically recline the back of the chair while lifting the user’s legs and another that eases them back in the opposite direction.
