The perch stairlift
The perch stairlift has the same comfort and safety features as the straight and curved stairlifts, but is designed for those who have restricted movement in the knee or hip and find sitting painful. The perch stairlift has a shortened seat and stable support to "perch" on, so you are in a more comfortable semi-standing position. A perch seat may also be the solution for very narrow staircases.
