This Product will be used by the patient to assist themselves in navigating a specific set of stairs. This is a self contained product that is mounted to the tread of a staircase. A trained dealer will install the unit, test it and teach the end user how to operate it. The typical user is someone who has limited function of their knees, hips or ankles and / or has trouble bending these joints. Other users include rehabilitated stroke victims, those inflicted with MS, arthritis, heart disease, and those who can not handle the exertion of walking up and down the stairs. The unit may be recommended by doctors or physical therapists, for those who are recuperating but a large number of users acquire a stairway elevator just because it eases the burden of climbing the stairs, improving their quality of fife. For those who are wheelchair bound, it requires that they be able to transfer and is usually an option only if the physical limitations of the residence prohibits a vertical elevator.
