Standing stairlifts are an innovative solution for individuals with limited mobility who may find seated stairlifts uncomfortable or impractical. Ideal for users with joint issues or restricted bending, standing stairlifts allow safe and efficient navigation of stairs while maintaining an upright posture. Here’s everything you need to know about these versatile mobility aids.
