What Are The Health Benefits Of A Standing Wheelchair?
Standing wheelchairs, also known as standing power chairs, provide a variety of health benefits for individuals who use them. Here are some of the potential health benefits of standing wheelchairs:
-
Improved Circulation: Standing wheelchairs allow individuals to change positions throughout the day, which can help to improve blood flow and prevent circulation problems that can arise from extended periods of sitting.
-
Better Range Of Motion: Regular standing can help to maintain range of motion in the joints and prevent contractures, which can occur when muscles and tendons shorten due to lack of movement.
-
Improved Bone Density: Standing has been shown to stimulate bone growth and increase bone density, which can help to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions.
-
Improved Respiratory Function: Standing can help to open up the chest and improve breathing function, which can be especially beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions.
-
Improved Digestion: Standing can help to improve digestion and alleviate constipation by stimulating the muscles in the digestive system.
-
Improved Bladder And Bowel Function: Regular standing can also help to improve bladder and bowel function by stimulating the muscles and nerves in the pelvic area.
-
Improved Mental Health: Being able to stand and interact with the environment at eye level can help to improve self-esteem, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance overall quality of life.
Who Should Consider Ordering The Karman XO-55?
Constructed with the lightest and strongest aluminum in the world and designed with ergonomics in mind, the standing wheelchair weighs only 55 pounds. The XO-55 Horizon standing wheelchair is ideal for patients who need to stand for pressure relief, independence, blood circulation, improved digestion, bone strengthening, or who are unable to stand on their own. It enables users to move independently throughout daily activities and to manually stand when desired.
What Is Special About The XO-55?
The standing wheelchair comes with all necessary accessories for immediate use, including a chest harness, pelvic seat belt, and knee support. Scissor-style wheel locks, flip-up footplates, quick-release front caster forks, and wheels make it easier for consumers to transport the chair when necessary. Our design factors also go beyond functionality, such as the armrest frame's curve that allows for easier transferring and crafting the utmost physical appeal in the manual standing wheelchair market.
The XO-55 Horizon draws inspiration from our power standing wheelchair series, incorporating our prominent rear strut bar that helps stabilize the chair while standing and distributes force when manually propelling. The sporty 16 spoke pneumatic quick-release wheels with Kenda tires, adjusted camber, and toe make the standing wheelchair suitable for everyday use.
