  • His peripheral likely doesn’t include below him and he probably can’t easily lean to see what’s nearby. Building off that, if he struggles to lean forward then he probably needs the extended reach the stick gives to help with things like pointing at stuff on a shelf. He also might need it to help transfer from the wheelchair to another nearby chair i.e toilet, but his condition/pride doesn’t need another person to help.











  • Swapped between normal and kneeling chair for a while as budget solution to back pains. Switched to sit/stand lifting desk + normal chair, stand pad (do not cheap out on the stand pad, get a nice thick one) and balance board when I upgraded my desk.

    Kneeling chair was great, but shouldn’t be used for long periods of time (2+ hours) according to lots of easily corroborated medical advice easily found even on the kneeling chair supplier websites.

    Sit/stand desk is the best investment I’ve ever made, felt the improvements after 3 weeks of casual use. Balance board is awesome bonus but requires a solid hard surface. Had to buy a wooden panel to put over my plastic carpet protector cuz my place has fairly deep carpet.
