Used both to stretch knees, hips and Achilles tendon (the foot rest is angled slightly upward) and to perform household chores such as cooking, retrieving objects from high cabinets, changing light bulbs, etc.<br \/>\nBefore the user stands up, he puts the stabilization belts around his knees and chest. It is only possible to move while sitting in a standing wheelchair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nA standing wheelchair is heavier, more cumbersome and slightly wider than an ordinary manual active wheelchair. The user does not think this matters indoors. On the contrary, he is very happy with the chair and uses it daily. He wishes he had been told about the standing wheelchair earlier. He believes that everyone should have a standing wheelchair. Especially when cooking, he thinks it is very convenient to reach cabinets. He can stand for up to 30 minutes at a time.<\/p>\n<p>The user has a similar standing wheelchair at work which he obtained through the social insurance agency, see related tip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Inkopstallet\"><strong>Purchased from<\/strong><br \/>\nfor example Levo Active Easy from Sunrise Medical, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunrisemedical.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sunrisemedical.eu<\/a> (last checked February 2021)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Bekostad\"><strong>Paid for by<\/strong><br \/>\nCounty Council<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 412px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/1235_74_sta2_600.jpg\" alt=\"User between standing and sitting position\" width=\"402\" height=\"600\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">User lowers himself from standing to sitting<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 417px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/1235_74_sta3_600.jpg\" alt=\"User sitting in standing wheelchair with knees stabilized\" width=\"407\" height=\"600\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">User sitting in standing wheelchair with knees stabilized<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 567px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/1235_74_sta4_600.jpg\" alt=\"User beside standing wheelchair\" width=\"557\" height=\"600\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">User beside standing wheelchair<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People who use a wheelchair can increase their independence at home by using a standing wheelchair and they can also stretch their leg joints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":53203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[349,310,313,346,324],"tags":[465],"class_list":["post-3235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-about-maintaining-and-repairing-household-objects-49","category-tips-about-moving-around-by-wheelchair-10","category-tips-about-picking-up-taking-down-13","category-tips-about-preparing-meals-46","category-tips-about-training-24","tag-authors_v6","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/1235_74_sta1_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/74"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3235"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253941,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3235\/revisions\/253941"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
