Previously, people with mobility problems are left alone in their rooms and were not allowed to participate in tasks in the household, as well as in offices. Today, these individuals are given the chance to take part in said tasks through the use of electric recliners. These chairs are motorized armchairs especially designed for individuals who have undergone some form of orthopedic procedure and surgery, as well as those suffering with inherent mobility problems. Nonetheless, these chairs may also be used by anyone who wishes to relax after a long and tiring day.
An electric recliner is a type of a reclining chair. A recliner, on the other hand, is generally a chair-either an armchair or a sofa-with a backrest that can be tilted back and a footrest that extends when the chair is reclined. This piece of furniture, for almost 100 years now since its invention, is still among the most popular fixtures used today. The La-Z-Boy, invented in the 1920s is the first ever recliner invented. It was developed by cousins Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker.
Originally, recliners were made popular as places where one may sleep, relax, or watch television. However, over the years that followed, these chairs were modified and were improved to address the needs of seniors and those with mobility-related health problems-hence, the development of lift chairs and electric recliners. Today, the market is encumbered with a multitude of these chairs designed either for relaxing or medical purposes.
Electric recliners basically functions the same way as the traditional recliner. Unlike the traditional one, this type of recliner is mechanically controlled in order to provide maximum relaxation. It has an electrical lifting system as well as an electronically controlled backrest and footrest. Since there is no back pressure required to recline this type of chair, it is much easier to use than a regular recliner. These chairs help people change positions, sit comfortably, lie down and even get up. They are mostly used by people who find it difficult to move due to unfortunate physical circumstances. Despite being more popular to those facing issues relating to their mobility, these recliners may also be great for anyone who wishes to discover any snug armchair which is just good for them.
As was earlier stated, a number of benefits may be reaped from the use of electric recliners. First among them are the improvements in one's position and posture. Also, for individuals employing the chairs after surgeries or medications brought about by physical injuries such as arthritis, and hip and knee injuries, electric recliners help in providing less stress on the joints of the legs and hips of the patients, hence, allowing them to recover faster. Moreover, as was aforementioned, these mechanically powered recliners allow people with inherent mobility problems to participate in office jobs by allowing them to move by themselves to perform office and household tasks. Lastly, just like the same, old recliner, electric recliners allow one to relax after a long, tiring day.
Electric recliners are indeed among the inventions that can be considered among the best. With their applications designed not only for those with mobility related problems but also for those just wanting to relax, these chairs are indeed great pieces of equipment that may aid in today's fast-paced world.
