Standing and ceiling lifts are assistive devices that make transfers and daily activities easier. They help eliminate injury both to the caregiver and to the person being lifted.

A standing wheelchair (also known as a standing chair) is another type of assistive device, that allows a wheelchair user to raise the chair from a seated to a standing position. The standing wheelchair supports the person in a standing position and enables interaction with people and objects at eye level.
