Falls among the elderly are a common and serious issue, often leading to fractures, head injuries, and long-term mobility problems. This causes significant pain for the elderly and adds pressure on their families and caregivers. Traditional post-fall assistance methods, like relying on family or calling emergency services, often fail to resolve the situation quickly and safely, delaying rescue efforts and increasing the risk of secondary injuries. To address this, the Maidesite AX05 floor lift chair was developed.

Who Needs a Floor Lift?

The following groups may benefit from a floor lift chair:

1. Elderly people: As people age, their muscle strength and flexibility decrease, making it difficult to get up after a fall. And this device to lift the elderly off the floor could lend them a hand.
2. People with limited mobility: This includes those with disabilities, illnesses, or injuries that impair movement. They may need assistance to get up after a fall.
3. Patients in recovery: Those recovering from surgery or a serious illness may not yet have regained full strength and need extra help to safely get up.
4. Individuals living alone: Especially elderly people living alone, who may not have anyone to assist them at home, can benefit from the support and safety a floor lift provides.
5. Caregivers: In hospitals, nursing homes, or home care settings, caregivers can use an electric chair lift from the floor to help patients or elderly people, which reduces their own physical strain and the risk of injury.
