Genie, The Standing Wheelchair
Multi-Positional Wheelchair
For wheelchair users of all levels of dependency, there are benefits to be derived from standing occasionally, as it helps with blood circulation, digestion and bone development. Furthermore, being able to stand from time to time can relieve pressure and prevent bladder problems.
The Genie, from Easy Care Products, is a powerchair that allows the user to stand, sit or lie flat. Controlled electronically by a joystick or a closed-loop head control system, each model is customised to the requirements of the user, with a choice of footplates and leg raisers on offer.
From £5,400, the Genie is great in limited space, since it can turn within its own wheelbase and manoeuvre through doorways with ease. Contact via 01952 610300 or www.easycareproducts.co.uk.
