Very easy. It's not low to the ground by any means and it's pretty easy to put together.

It's very easy to get up. I have back problems and push up with my feet and hands

Probably not, you may fall and break something else. Wait until your arm heals and then go for it!

Yes, it is. My mother is 96 and partly paralyzed. It is easy for her to get up with this. She loves it. She love the material also. It is warmer for her. And she doesn't slide on it. There is a back up battery that you can put in, in case of a power outage. It has a nice and slow movement, that doesn't scare her. When she is getting up. I also got this one, because it was for petite people. The size is great for someone under 5 feet.

Yes you do need to get up but the chair swivels so you can turn around, but you do need to get up to go in a new direction. It's very comfortable and I can garden again after my knee replacement. Hope this helps.

no it is not easy enough for one person....maybe once it is broken up and down a few times I think Ican get it up if one of the legs is in a fixed position like tied to a tree. But then I'm a girl.

It's easy for someone out of the bed, possibly not so easy for someone in the bed. It's doable, but would depend on the patients physical ability and agility.

Actually no, but it is easier if you tip the foot of the chair down. Out is easy, just grab the arms and lift yourself. They are remarkably comfortable.

If your in at least average shape it's not to hard to get into, however my kids ages 5 and 6 both needed help getting in. I'm pretty sure you can hang a small ladder from the side.

It is lightweight. You will not have problem lifting. I have taken it upstairs myself.

I don't have alot of upper body strength and I have no problem wheeling myself around in this chair in the house or on level ground. It's very maneuverable. I need help going uphill but that's expected. My mom says it's very easy to push--she's 78.

Yes quite easy. This one i bought for a 78 yo lady who rides my bus. The chair part and any part unfolds with ease, no struggling, no fighting with it just fold and go!

Hello. I'm also 5 feet tall and wondering if anyone ever answered your question. I want to buy an elliptical and they all seem to cater to tall people! I had to have the pedals of last one I owned removed and moved forward, putting wood blocks underneath to also raise me up. Otherwise I the only way I could reach the handles was to walk in a leaning forward position. ANYONE out there with advice for us shrimps?

We bought this for a family member with cancer who has difficulty getting in and out of regular height chairs (he uses a lift chair). We wanted him to have something to use outside that is transportable to offer more outing options. However, we are concerned because it is SO difficult to open and close (yes- the cross bar is disengaged) we feel he may not be able to do this himself. Will try some WD40 but afraid it may need to be returned if it doesn't get a lot easier than it is now.

IT IS not hard to lift if you are not disabled. I would not spend this kind of money on it, I returned mine. The $35.00 one does the same thing. The bumpy things in the bottom are very painful to sensitive feet.

MUCH safer for you guys to use than free weights, which would be dangerous and break bones, like your toes or something. And the bows don't "whip" like you would think, so if you do let go suddenly, nothing should break and you should be fine. I have my dad work on it, and he's 78.

My wife and I both open it alone all the time. It's not the easiest thing to do but it's do-able. The only thing that really makes it a chore is that the legs will stick on the opposite side of where you are raising it. It's a little heavier than an EZ-UP too so it takes a little more muscle.

Gosh, sorry for your injuries and the pain you must be in. I am sure it could be moved but really don't recommend using this product with just one hand. There will be balance issues. The handle bar jirks if you go over a bump to fast, even the transition in house flooring. (tile to carpet) I would recommend a knee walker with lock down brakes. I tipped over trying to get up the step from garage to house. You don't need to fall on that hurt shoulder. That was with 2 good hands.
