As you're lying in bed, you might find you don't have the strength to sit up or support yourself as you transfer to a chair.
Sit-to-stand lifts - also called stand-assist devices - compensate for muscle or joint weakness and let you maintain your independence. Designed for individuals with some grip strength, sit-to-stand lifts help you rise into a sitting position and provide assistance as you move from your bed to another seat.

What is a Sit-to-Stand Lift, and How Does It Work?
A type of stand aid, these assistive devices help patients with sitting up in bed and transferring to another surface, including a chair, a transfer bench or the bathroom. Stand-assist devices further reduce the stress and strain placed on caregivers as they lift and support patients multiple times per day.
Whether for a manual or electric lift:
- Patients hold onto grab bars as the lift helps them sit up.
- A sling may be placed around the patient if they're being lifted out of bed.
- Sit-to-stand lifts don't support the patient's full body weight; patients using these devices need to be able to partially support their own weight and use their arms and legs to some degree.
- These stand lift devices help patients get into a position for dressing or bathing.
- Sit-to-stand lifts can additionally assist with gait and balance training during recovery.
Types of Sit-to-Stand Lifts
Sit-to-stand lifts fall into one of the following categories:
- Manual lifts, which use levers and hydraulic pumps and require a caregiver to operate.
- Electric or power lifts, which patients can use alone to sit up and get support as they stand.
