Can a senior lower this in order to be able to get up unassisted. We had one with levers that he couldn't operate.

There are little plastic pieces on the edges near the part where it bends up. They are easy to pull up but, the person has to be able to lean down and lift one side and than go to down to the other side of the bed and pull that one also. Hope this helps. Sorry I cant explain it better.

This rail was designed for toddlers, it can not be lowered, there are no levers and it is strapped hard to mattress bottom.

No. This unit works in one direction only. You could actually lower something, but there is no ratchet for that direction, so you would have to be able to handle all the force by hand.

Carol, if you can't move the highth adjustment lever once you squeeze the handle together, you may have a similiar problem as Mr. Carson above you. It should move freely up and down with lowering being the easiest and raising being only slightly more labor intensive.

Not with it in the up position. Not hard to drop down to open trunk, just one level to pull.

Yes it can. I have difficulty rising & I bought this to allow me to have other seating arrangements. Also, being portable it can go with me & I don't have to worry about getting "stuck" and not being able to rise.

The reformer inclines (almost 90degrees) but doesn't lift the platform horizontally, so I don't think would be good for you if you cannot get down.

They are lower to the ground. Probably would be difficult to get out of if you are older.

I purchased it for a young lady who lives with me; she is not able to get her chair on it herself, I have to pop her chair up on it. Unfortunately it would be difficult to get yourself up on it without help.

Unfortunately, there are no directions for this so it is a matter of trial and error. Try sitting on it and move the lever up and down. Remove a little bit it will go either down or up. Good luck

I don't think so. My husband is 220 lbs and if he can get on it, needs help getting in the down position,it will help him get up but add another 40 lbs and I'm not sure. Try one first if possible.

I have to concur with Tom, however I do think it can be done, depending on how deeply it is set in the ground. Anything in the 12" to 15" or about 3.6 to 4.5 meters is doable. Yet you may need another person to help you press down. And indeed it has a hook for chains, thus clearly it was taken into account.

My 89 year old mother had some issues since it was flat on the floor and nothing around to help pull herself up off of the mattress. I believe it would help if the mattress were inflated fairly firm. It helped me. I guess it would really depend on the person's abilities to lift themself up from a low position.

The short answer is yes, but why would you need to? The rollator will only move as fast as you push it. If you are on a seriously down hill grade I am afraid that if you lack sufficient upper body strength, the rollator is going to get away from you causing you to fall. As long as you stay on level ground, or gentle down hill slopes where you don't have the machine at arms' length in front of you, you should be OK.

yes you can, but if you run it up on high good luck trying, you will be more concerned with staying put, on lower setting no problem

No more then it weigh it very stable. If he feel at 71 he Need to be on a ladder I would say it worth the try

You need to be sitting on it and then lower the lever and it should go down. If there's no weight on them, they don't lower. Hope that helps.

Yes. I'm 45 years old and only 5'3 and about 130 lbs and I can set it up and take it down myself. Granted it would be easier with another person but it can be done alone. Good luck!
