Arrange a Free Assessment at Your Home or in Our Showroom

Experience has taught us that before deciding on any particular standing powerchair model it's crucial to carry out a seating assessment to get a full understanding of you and your needs.

This assessment involves evaluating your goals and needs, and looking at your range of motion strength, balance and positioning requirements. We then identify the kind of support you'll be needing to accommodate any postural asymmetries or needs when seated and standing. This helps us identify prospective models for you to try. We partner with the foremost brands in the industry to offer the most comprehensive range of standing powerchairs on the market, so you can be assured you will be seeing the best possible options for your needs.

We are more than happy to come to you for a free, no-obligation assessment. This is a popular way for customers to experience and evaluate the powerchairs with an assessor, in the environment where they'll be used most frequently. Call now to book your free, no-obligation in-home assessment.

Alternatively, visit our Chessington showroom assessment facilities where you can explore the models in privacy, with one of our assessors on-hand. Our range features the best standing powered wheelchairs on the market, ready for you to try out. Please call to book an appointment or schedule your visit here so we can ensure the models are available for you to consider with an experienced assessor on-hand to assist.

Health Benefits of Standing

Standing power wheelchairs offer a multitude of health advantages. They promote improved blood circulation and cardiovascular function by facilitating muscle pump action and blood flow. Additionally, they alleviate pressure on the diaphragm, resulting in better respiratory function when the user is in an upright position. By enabling weight-bearing, these chairs increase bone density and strength by loading the skeletal structure. They also reduce the risk of developing pressure sores and ulcers by redistributing weight away from bony areas. Standing wheelchairs contribute to improved bowel and bladder function through natural abdominal pressure changes. Furthermore, they help maintain range of motion and muscle tone by allowing weight-shifting and exercise.

Social and Practical Benefits

Standing power wheelchairs offer significant social and practical benefits. They enable users to interact face-to-face at eye level, promoting social engagement and confidence. These chairs enhance independence and self-assurance in daily activities and social settings. They also provide improved reach and function for tasks such as kitchen preparation, grooming, and working. Standing wheelchairs facilitate transfers and reduce the need for home modifications like raised counters. Additionally, their upright posture offers a clear line of sight over obstacles and crowds.

Our Standing Powerchair Range

Standing functions on wheelchairs are advanced pieces of engineering, so standing-powered wheelchairs are not cheap, usually starting at more than £20,000. However, unlike other configurable powerchairs, they tend to be loaded with extras, including tilt, recline, powerful motors, large batteries, and advanced seating. This means that for most people they will rarely cost much above the base price - unlike other configurable powerchairs where you can end up spending an extra £5,000 or more above the base price on options alone.
