Especially helpful for dementia and visually impaired users to help prevent slips, trips and falls; the leading cause of death by injury in people over 65. Blue pads also prevent staining and discoloration- a common problem with old style white and gray plastic chairs. |
Rock-Solid Aluminum Framefor years of reliable use Medical-Grade Aluminum frame will never rust. Institutional quality for reliability, durability, and safety. Equipped with non-slip rubber grips, the Apex will stay in place. |

The Apex premium, padded, height adjustable hip chair was designed specifically for post-op hip patients.

The frame is constructed of rustproof aluminum for years of reliable use. Designed by front-line healthcare workers with decades of experience in patient mobility and rehabilitation, the Apex hip chair is considered the premium hip chair product by nurses, physiotherapists and doctors around the world.

and my "stand by" chair for when I need to rest in my
stand up activities.
We are so impressed with EVERYTHING about this chair
that I am sharing it with my PT and OT Team at the
Kaiser Acute Rehabilitation Center - Vallejo Calif.
Can't wait to use this chair in my shower, kitchen, garden
and workshop.
I purchased this chair from Amazon Prime. Delivery was suitable and it arrived in good shape. Chair was very easy to assemble. Very impressed from the start with these features:
NO TOOLS REQUIRED.
Simple, easy to follow instructions. Quick to assemble.
Two sets of leg extensions. One SHORT. One TALL. Each has several adjustments, in 1/2 inch increments. Will fit virtually any adult.
Chair is incredibly sturdy and of quality construction. Legs have a wide, especially balanced stance, with extra wide, heavy duty vinyl feet.
Completely waterproof.
Comfortable, and reassuring in use.
The engineers, and quality control people, are to be congratulated.
They have thought of everything, and made it a reality.
I, and my caregivers, will give it our full endorsement and recommendations.
Very easy to assemble, took only 10 minutes from opening the box and totally assembled.
The parts after being assembled seemed sturdy and well fitted helping it feel sturdy, comfortable with a sense of security. I have atrophy weakness in my legs and also deal with foot drop, having a shower chair with a good height is necessary for standing up without issue. I am 5'9" tall, the extra height this chair offers is just what I need for being able to stand up easier. Do to it's height and because I push back as I stand, I do have this chair against the wall otherwise it wouldn't stay in place as with any chair. You can turn the rubber feet on the bottom to adjust the leveling that is needed because of a showers pitch towards their drain. Easy enough to adjust. I've only used the chair once as of yet and am pleased so far. I have it set at the second to last height. My legs and feet do dangle so I use a square lidded bucket as a foot stool in order to wash my legs and feet.
The only things as of now that I would make different are the girth of the leg poles for added strength and stability and the arms a few inches taller or possibly adjustable for height. I do feel the chair is rather high priced for what it is, but because I needed what height it offered I bought it. It's not easy to find the height. Also the seat, backrest and arms are comfortable. I also would like to note that you do not have to attach the backrest. So all in all I rate this chair a 4 out of 5 stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
