Perch Seat
If you have restricted movement in the knee or hip joints, you may find sitting painful or uncomfortable. In these situations, a perch stairlift seat may be the ideal solution. The perch seat sits just underneath the user’s buttocks, allowing the user to comfortably be seated in a near-standing position when using the stairlift. Perch stairlifts can also be a useful solution for extremely narrow stairways.
