Geriatric chairs
This is a chair that facilitates back strain and allows sitting in semi- supine position. Patient’s legs can be rested at the same time. Some of these chairs are movable and have casters; others are designed to stay in one position. A geriatric chair is similar to a transfer chair. The difference is that geriatric chair is designed not only for transporting purpose but also for convenient sitting. It is widely used in nursing homes.
