Power Lift recliners for heart care with elevated feet

by

Heart-Condition-Lift-ChairKeep Feet elevated and ease mobility

 Power lift recliners function and appear as just a simple recliner, but they are a great resource for a number of people, including those who  need to keep feet elevated and those who struggle standing up.   If you or your loved one have limited mobility, suffer from sore joints and stiffness, or suffer from a any number of  health conditions.   You will find that these power lift recliners for heart care are a good choice.   This article focuses on feet elevation but we do have a more moderate choice for those that just need to keep feet elevated.

Heart Patients

Lift chairs are a popular choice for individuals with heart, circulation and edema, or arthritis issues, as these products can situate the body in various positions. Many lift chairs offer the Zero Gravity position, which works to alleviate physical stresses on the body, helping to relieve sore joints and muscles. Other heart patient lift chairs offer the Trendelenburg position, which places the legs and feet slightly above the heart and helps to reduce swelling in the legs and increase blood circulation.

Each of the lift chairs on this list is completely automatic and includes easy-to-use hand controls, making them perfect for all individuals, even those with dementia. These products do differ in material, design, and size, and we hope that we can help you pick the perfect chair for you or your loved one.

Feet elevated above heart

Positioning feet elevated above the heart means there is less force needed to circulate blood throughout our body.

In a standing position our feet are on the ground so, the blood moves thru our body, down our legs, into our feet and back up to our heart for fresh oxygenated blood.   If the feet are elevated, the pump circulation is easier because there is less gravity pulling downward towards our grounded feet.

In other words, think of your  heart as a pump.  It pumps the blood around your body.   There is input to our heart and there is output.  The condition  of our heart may mean that perhaps our heart is not pushing (output) as much blood.   With our feet elevated above the heart you make it less stressful on your body.

CHAIR 6: COZZIA MC510-FBN01 Power Lift Mobility Recliner


Pros:

  • Arms move easy to help when moving to other devices
  • Headrest is adjustable
  • Close to wall placement

Cons:

  • Does not include Trendelenburg position
  • Only comes in one size

If your loved one or patient uses a wheelchair or a scooter, we definitely recommend this lift chair. The power armrests make transfers easy, and even though this product comes in at a slightly higher price point and single size, this feature can be very beneficial.

This Cozzia chair also needs to be only 15 inches from the wall, making it the most space-efficient model on the list.

However, since this chair does not include the Trendelenburg position, therefore it does not fit the conditions you may need for  heart patient lift chairs and the other models may be more ideal for users with heart or poor circulation conditions.

Sizing and Appearance:

This lift chair comes in a single size, which seems consistent with the medium size on other models, and it has a weight capacity of 300 pounds. This chair comes in an espresso color and includes an extendable footrest to cater to taller individuals.

Reclining Positions:

The footrest and backrest operate independently of one another, allowing this chair to move into a variety of positions with ease. The chair includes sitting, standing, and Zero Gravity positions, but it is not able to extend into the Trendelenburg position.

Ease of Use:

This chair is designed for individuals that utilize a wheelchair or scooter, the powered armrests lower to the height of the chair for easy sliding transfers. The remote is also easy to use, as it utilizes simple two-button controls for the armrests, backrest, and footrest and can be programmed for TV, lift, and Zero Gravity positions. Storage pockets are available on both sides, and a backup battery is also included.

Comfort:

This chair incorporates an adjustable, cradling headrest.  The cradling headrest allows for customized neck and head support.  The seat is composed of memory foam, which ensures optimal comfort. This Cozzia chair also comes included with a pop-out footrest extender, but this medical lift chair does not include heat or massage capabilities.

Setup and Cleaning:

The fabric used is water, stain, and oil repellent, making this chair easy to clean. The chair weighs about 160 pounds which is the heaviest on list.   But it only needs 15 inches from the wall.

When living with mobility problems, or caring for someone with these concerns, being able to comfortably get into and out of a chair can be a great convenience. Walkers and canes are good for getting you from one place to another, but they do not give you the relief you’re looking for when you want to sit down.

Difficulty due to arthritis, back and spine injuries, birth defects, or any number of other medical conditions, causes discomfort and pain when you attempt to sit down or stand up. These mobility problems are felt by both the young and the not so young, by men, and by women. The good news is that motorized lift chairs can make that transfer from standing to sitting, and vice versa, easy and stress free, for both you and your caregiver.

With an endless number of electric lift chairs available today, it can be confusing to find the right power lift chair for you. Your ideal electric lift chair is the one that will accommodate your height and weight, feel comfortable against your back and under your seat, be easy to operate, can operate with a backup battery when electricity is lost, and have position flexibility. I have done research on various lift chairs and want to share this information with you.

CONCLUSION:
Whether this is your first power lift chair or a replacement,  it is important for you to try a chair before you buy one. An electric lift chair is an expensive piece of furniture, whether you buy it from a medical supply company, a furniture store, or online.

A power lift chair may provide the comfort you are looking for if you have difficulty when attempting to sit down, stand up, or just relaxing.  A mobilized lift chair is a good solution when you need to remain seated for several hours during the day. Having a mobility problem, painful arthritis, a spinal or back issue, or a permanent injury does not mean that you need to endure discomfort or pain while sitting. And, with a 3 position lift chair, you also have the option of reclining the seat fully for a stress-free afternoon nap.
