The designs and features of wheelchairs have been constantly evolving throughout the history of wheelchairs. Now the TTK Center for Rehabilitation Research and Device Development, IIT Madras, a premium engineering institution, has developed a novel wheelchair that enables the user to independently rise to a standing position. Such a standing wheelchair can substantially enhance the independence of a wheelchair user. Chennai-based Phoenix Medical Systems is manufacturing this wheelchair. In last few months, videos of this standing wheelchair have been widely circulating on social media. Many of my wheelchair user friends are very excited to see the ease with which this device rises to make the user stand.
This standing wheelchair has been aptly named Arise. It is available from the factory of Phoenix Medical Systems in Chennai and their distributors. Let’s take a look at the wheelchair’s demonstration:
Price of Standing Wheelchair
The advertised price of the Arise standing wheelchair is Rs. 15,000 (approx. $250). Transportation charges may also incur. This wheelchair can be easily transported in auto-rickshaws, buses, trains etc.
As you can see, this amazing, very affordable and easy to use wheelchair can solve many problems faced by the wheelchair users. Still, I think you will have a lot of other questions about this wheelchair. The following detailed video from IIT Madras will answer the following questions for you:
