The idea is good. You find it hard to stand from a chair so you get a chair that helps you out.
The problem....
You stop using the muscles that help you stand and pretty soon you can't stand without this type of assistance.
This can be a very big problem and aids such as this should only be used when absolutely required.
Other Elderly Mobility Aids that provide balance support while keeping you active can have the opposite effect. If you walk twice as far daily because you use a cane or frame you get stronger.Stronger is good, weakness is bad.
