Introduction

Assistive devices can make a huge difference in the everyday life of people with disabilities, as they enable execution, activity and participation in everyday activities.

This also applies to the VELA Chair, which is a device developed by VELA in the 1970s, and which has since become popular in many homes by providing people with disabilities with greater independence.

The VELA Chair's reason for being is the same as it was back in the 70s: the central brake of the chair that provides safety and liberty to perform various activities.

At the same time, the VELA Chair is a mobile chair with smooth-running wheels that allow the user to walk the chair around in a seated position.

A VELA Chair is available with manual or electrical height adjustment. The electric height adjustment reduces inconvenient and painful impacts and shocks when moving.

Furthermore, the electrical height adjustment also supports people who are exhausted or with reduced balance and power in the legs to mobilise themselves from sitting to standing position.

On the following pages, the concrete benefits for users and care providers are described from a perspective based on ordinary everyday activities at home with users who are using a VELA Chair.

Benefits for users and care providers
when using the VELA Chair as an aid

A VELA Chair adds value to users and care providers in many everyday activities
in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, utility room and living room.

Benefits for the user:

:: Greater peace of mind through comfort and gentleness with fewer transfers and good ergonomics

:: Possibility of more involvement, independence and dignity in personal care as well as increased self-esteem

:: Greater self-reliance when performing everyday activities, which contributes to relieving spouses/relatives

:: Increased quality of life - including increased dignity, well- being and comfort

:: Better hygiene and thereby improved health by being able to get to the sink and toilet unassisted

:: Independence and flexibility as well as the possibility of self- determination and increased mastery of activities

Benefits for the care provider:

:: Better working environment due to fewer transfers and better postures without undue strain

:: Better utilisation of resources through released time.
This time may be spent on more flexible use of working hours so that resources can be used to help more users with a primary focus on the weakest

:: If a user independently can handle basic tasks, such as toilet visits and transfer to and from the bed, care providers can organise their work, which reduces stress and increases flexibility

:: Increased self-reliance brings fewer conflicts with users suffering from disorders such as dementia and cognitive impairments, which can increase the quality of life for relatives
