• Supports both 3-wheel and 5-wheel configurations for mobility and reduced risk of accidents.
• Made from strong, stable materials to safely support the weight of elderly users.

These products not only enhance the quality of life for the elderly but also reflect the Company’s genuine commitment to designing products for all generations.

Electric Recliner Chair Innovation for the Elderly and Individuals with Mobility Challenges

The Company has developed an electric recliner chair specially designed for individuals with back pain, the elderly, patients in recovery, or those with mobility limitations. The chair emphasizes convenience, safety, and ergonomically aligned use, helping users support themselves when standing, while reducing pressure on the back, hips, and legs.

This chair can recline to a level where the feet are elevated above the heart, effectively alleviating discomfort and promoting blood circulation. It also features a swivel function to assist users in turning while working or when sitting and standing, as exemplified by:

• In 2024, developed 2 new SKUs of Recliner & Lifting Chairs for the elderly under the INDEX brand.
