1 Introduction to A J Way Riser
Recliner Chairs
1.1 What is a riser recliner chair?
A riser recliner chair is designed to benefit
users in various ways. All A J Way riser
recliners have electrically powered rise
functions that will assist rising from a
seated to a standing position at the touch of
a button. The chairs will also recline to
provide comfort and relief for users and
facilitate a resting or napping position.
1.2 Why is there a need for this type
of chair?
The ability of a seated person to function
efficiently and perform activities is
dependent on their ability to adopt the
appropriate posture. All activity is posture
dependent. If a person cannot move or has
problems adjusting their posture, it may be
necessary to use seating to try to provide
this postural positioning.
Equally important is the ability to rise safely
and confidently from a seated position,
which is what a riser recliner chair is
designed to assist with.
