Designed to easily and permanently attach to either a wheelchair or commode, the Buddy Bar Standing Assistance Aid can be a life changer! Often, people need something to grip onto for the extra support to go from a seated position to a standing position. When not in use, the Buddy Bar Standing Assistance Aid turns to face downward so that they are out of the way. When needed, simply flip them up, slide the poles out, grip onto the handlebars, and pull!
Increasing mobility makes daily life tasks much easier to accomplish. Developing greater independence not only gives the caregiver a break but, also improves the confidence of the user in the wheelchair. Usually, only using the armrests to stand up only allows the user to use their triceps, making it difficult to actually get out of the chair. Buddy Bars let you use multiple muscle groups such as the biceps, triceps, lats, and even quads to stand.
With regular use, the Buddy Bars can even improve balance and help build upper body strength! Use the Buddy Bars when getting into a car, using the microwave, reaching objects in high cabinets, or transferring to another chair or walker. The Buddy Bars were designed to make your life easier!
