FAQ
Common questions
When does Parkinson's and the Struggle to Stand Up: Practical Seating Help at Home matter?
Parkinson's and the Struggle to Stand Up: Practical Seating Help at Home matters when it changes the actual daily-care workflow. The fit check decides whether it is central to the recommendation or only a secondary detail.
Can Sollevita be more than needed here?
Yes. Sollevita can be more than needed when a simpler lift chair, standard recliner or basic comfort feature is enough. That is why fit is checked before quote.
Why has standing up from a chair become so much harder?
Rising from sitting asks a lot of the body at once, and many people with Parkinson's find initiating that movement particularly difficult. The reasons are individual, so ask the care team about your relative's situation. Practically, a higher and firmer starting position makes the task smaller.
What should we do in the moment when they get stuck halfway up?
Stay calm, help them sit safely back down, and try again after a pause rather than pulling them upward. A physiotherapist can teach cueing and technique for these moments, which many families find genuinely useful.
Does raising the seat height really make that much difference?
Starting higher means the knees and hips have far less work to do, so many people manage with less help or less fear. With a motorised hi-lo seat you can find the height that suits your relative and return to it exactly, every time.
