What an amazing piece of kit! My hubby has Parkinson’s and when he falls it’s such a struggle to get him back up on his feet so this would be a gane changer for us. I’d probably opt for the manual version though due to cost.
Good afternoon, I am writing from Italy, Tuscany. I am interested in receiving more information: where you can purchase the product; What's the price. Thank you MMarco
Question unanswered in this thread. What is the weight capacity? Getting the equipment under the person and holding the weight seem tricky. As is the lack of an arm support for the person. Theoretically sounds great, but standing up after a fall seems unlikely. If a person falls in the first place, how to stand up after the fall seems very difficult.
Thanks for the question Angela. The weight limit is 150kg - 23.5 stone. The Raizer is designed for people who can walk and move around by themselves, who are not injured by the fall, but don't have the strength to get themselves up. We would anticipate that they are able to position their own arms, and because they are uninjured, they will be fine to stand up after a fall, or transfer to their chair using a walking frame. I trust that helps?
Thanks Mr Kusay. Normally the person would be able to stand and then move to the wheelchair. Otherwise the Raizer could be lifted level with the wheelchair seat and a transfer board could be used
Thanks Hulafors, yes it is 150kg. We did a surface challenge on some outdoor surfaces which may be of interest: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j_wT0g761Sg.html
If this can be made to be less expensive it could be marketed to every single household in America. So many 911 calls are about someone falling and can't get up. A ridiculous use of EMS and hardly ever necessary.
