Hi, Again. I just chatted with the lady who ended up with the rolling walker, and she has no problem doing what you want to do with it. However, it does not work outside. Se is also a bit of a light weight, and she has no problem fitting in the seat. I hope this helps. Steve

Hi. Are you looking at the one with 6" wheels, or the one with 8" wheels. (I bought 2, one of each). A word of caution, the one with 6" wheels should not be used outside. I think either one could be used in the way your asking. The one with the larger wheels has a much better seat. I purchased these for a friend (male) who is living in an assited-living home. He weighs almost 240 pounds, and is a little over 6ft tall. If you can swing it, the one wit the 8" wheels is a better chair. I paid $89.00 for the small one, and $125.00 for the larger one. Hope this helps. Steve

you can push yourself backwards easily but would have to pull with legs to go frontward(that with back to bar)

Not separately, but you can sit upright with feet elevated if you stop it before it goes back.

I think this depends on the person. You should be easily maintaining a good curvature on your lower spine while sitting on your sit bones. You can find this natural spine position by loosening the tilt mechanism and rocking your hips back and forth while sitting on the chair. Once you establish a natural position, tighten the tilt screw and set your tilt position. Feel free to experiment, without a certified ergonomics person observing you, it is impossible to suggest the right position for your body.

Just push the back down. I hope your chair operates better then mine I have to get my husband to get me out.

Yes you can. Although I have two bilaterally, which allows stability on both sides to hoist yourself up from seated position. The springed feet allow you to place and keep cane feet compketely on floor as you push off even at an angle which is often the case as cane will be taller than seated height and the angled position will give you good traction. Lifting from seated to standing is one of my main uses to help w lower deficits. Note as w any cane including this great one - the user needs good upper body control to support weight from sitting standing

Not really it will push you back upright unless you keep your weight on the back of the chair or hold yourself back with your feet.

No u can't. U have to be careful about that. The chair is very comfortable but hard for someone to push u in it because of small wheels. Other than that the chair suits my purpose really well. It is light weight and easy for me to get it in and out of the car.

Actually I had to get the hang of it!! I have found if you put the foot of the chair down on the ground then you can just sit in. then get out the same way. it is so comfortable it's worth the 'awkwardness'!! I love the chair.

You can yes, but because the seat is fixed its very uncomfortable and puts strain on the lower back

When you pull up on the lever on the leftside of chair you use your leg or the heels of your feet to push down and back on the leg rest to place the leg rest in a position you like. I hope this helps. I love my chair.

My son is mobile enough he can get himself into the chair. So, I hold the hand brake and verbally guide him into the chair. "Butt first, hold on to the handle". But if I were not holding the chair, I fear it would slide out from under him.

Yes. When sitting in the chair it is on the right side. You need to push it in.

Sitting slightly reclined, while pedaling, the leg and hip muscles are engaged vigorously. I'm sure the abdominal muscles are slightly engaged, but not vigorously as there is no "push and pull" with your arms.

Good question! It is difficult and every time I try to get out I hope the neighbors aren't watching! I have found that if i have a foot on either side and pull myself up I can get out easily. Trying to get out from sideways sitting position is really tough, and I am short and fairly athletic!

it requires the weight of a body to work it. there is no way for you to sit and use. sorry.

Yes, you can push with just one hand. This was the best buy. I plan on buying another one as a gift.

Yes you can. You just push back on the arms and it is hiden against the back of the chair. I love this product.
