Standing Wheelchair Benefits

Are you eager to know how a Voltster Robotics SU1, electric, motorized standing wheelchair can bring ease to your life?

If so, these are some of the best standing wheelchair health benefits:

Improved Breathing

The respiratory system, comprised of respiratory organs and respiratory muscles, is essential to human respiration.

Users of wheelchairs often have respiratory compromise, either because of a physical limitation in the upper body’s ability to expand and contract freely or because of the effects of pressure and gravity on the chest and lungs while seated.

When you stand up straight, you take the strain off your spine and whole body, allowing more oxygen and blood flow. As a result, breathing becomes easier and less taxing on the respiratory system, and it’s one of the best health benefits of standing wheelchairs.

Better Bladder & Bowel Function

The digestive system, particularly the bladder, and bowels, has a tough time working while seated.

Slouching increases the likelihood of urinary tract infections and kidney stones because urine cannot drain properly.

When a person stands (while using standing wheelchairs), their stomach muscles relax and allow their digestive tract to expand, making it easier to process food and eliminate waste.

Improved Bone Density

Sitting reduces the amount of work your bones must do to support your body, which can lead to fragility over time.

Osteoporosis and other bone abnormalities can result from inadequate bone density. That’s why it’s crucial to meet your daily needs for vitamin D, Calcium, and physical activity.

The electric standing wheelchair can retrain the bones to support the body in an upright position, which is helpful for those who use wheelchairs.

Despite its apparent simplicity, this movement can have significant benefits for those with restricted mobility in their lower limbs. This helps the user maintain optimal bone density.
