Question about wheelchairs?
Does anyone know if there is a wheelchair that has a adjustable seat (that adjusts up and down) My daughter has to get in her chair from the floor (paralyzed from the waist down) and now that she is older and bigger she can't lift herself from the floor into her chair, I can't lift her she weighs about 180 dead weight. I have looked online and can't find anything, Just thought there might be someone out here who knows if such a chair exists. Thank you
My daughter is 34 years old and had a stroke so her arm strength is limited

I don't know the name of this... but I think there is a lift for patients to their bed and chairs.
I would call local a local medical supply stores (not a traditional pharmacy)

I am 27 and use a wheelchair. I haven't been on the floor in years. They do have a wheelchair by Permobil that can lower down to the ground, but from what I know it is mostly for young children so that they are eye to eye with other young children. They do have an elevator seat, but it doesn't go down that far.

Permobile has one for young kids but I do not think they are for older or heavier people. There are hoyer type lifts go from floor to wheelchair or a bed.
