A stairlift is a very important mobility device for individuals with mobility issues. Today, the market is filled with different models of this device which have been designed and developed over time. These models include outdoor, curved, seated and perch stairlifts. All these models are used in different situations as deemed necessary. As such, a person must clearly understand the type of stairlift they require before making a purchase. Here are facts regarding Maryland stair lifts.

When people are in doubt of what they need, it is good to seek for assistance. Assistance can be got from physiotherapists, personal primary physicians or other types of medical or health practitioners. The reason is that they understand personal needs of patients they serve and can give useful advice that meets their personal conditions.

The commonest type of stairlift is the seated stairlift. It is built with a platform for the user to sit on when the device is moving up and down. It stops exactly at the end of the stairs for easy loading and unloading. They are built to minimize injuries and help people change from sitting to standing position. Unfortunately, they are designed small, which means that cannot manage big loads.

To be in a better position, one can have two seated stairlifts installed on their staircase so that movement of luggage can be made easier. The spare stairlift moves the luggage while one sits on the other one. This way, one does not need help from other people to move luggage upstairs. This promotes independence and enables one to be able to handle their daily tasks.

Perch stairlifts are meant to help individuals who find it hard to sit. Normally, it is difficult for these people to sit comfortably. Such a situation may happen in cases where a person cannot move their joints, knees, or hips. Perch stairlifts are designed to support the users by their buttocks. Moreover, the device is designed with retractable seatbelts to provide additional safety to the individual using it. They are available in several varying designs from which one can select.

As suggest by their name straight stairlifts are meant for use on staircases that are straight. As such, they cannot be used on curved staircases. Comparatively straight staircases are cheaper than their curved counterparts. Also, it takes less time to install them. This model has its platform fitted on stair treads, meaning that the wall is not damaged in anyway.

Hence, the need for repainting and redecoration after installation works. Most of these models run on power from the mains, although they switch to batteries, which are included in the design during power outage. The power back up is for reliability to ensure continuity throughout. The power backup is replicable in case it gets depleted. Customers are advised to stick to spare parts recommended by the manufacturer.

Curved stairlifts as the name indicates are used to move around curved staircases. They are designed in that they can glide across full landings and half landings. To do with installation, the sitting platform is installed on rails that are fitted too close to the walls. Curved stairlift models are also bucked up with batteries that are rechargeable.
