We should all be able to get up and sit down on our own regardless of age or ability. However, due to age-related impairments this becomes challenging for many elderly people, limiting their freedom in everyday life.
With its extended armrests that go all around and serve as a handrail, this armchair enables the user to get up intuitively in a position with minimal resistance.
