Retractable Footrest
The Retractable Footrest is one of the primary features of our acute care chairs, and is protected under a US Patent. It acts as a convenient footrest, but its true value is in assisting the Sit-to-Stand Maneuver. By partially extending the footrest the task of entering a 25 or 23 inch high seat is made considerably easier and safer. The same is true when exiting the chair.
