There can be many reasons why a person has hemiplegic paralysis – it can be congenital, but it can also come from a stroke. Whatever the cause, a VELA chair for hemiplegia can help.
VELA makes aids for people with disabilities. We have many years of expertise in making chairs as aids, good ergonomics and a great insight into the problems that various disabilities can cause.
A VELA chair is an aid that makes everyday life more manageable for people with hemiplegia.
Paralysis makes daily tasks more difficult. VELA chairs help with:
These three factors help you train yourself to manage as much as possible, even without the help of others.
With hemiplegia, it is beneficial to have a chair with armrests. For example, you can use the armrest to support the healthy side of the body when you get up.
You can use the armrest on the paralysed side to restrict your body and also as helpful support. We have several unique armrests with a cushion, edge or channel, which can help the paralysed arm stay in the desired position. Armrests can therefore be good aids for paralysis.

If you have impaired function in one leg or one foot, you can use a footrest or leg rest to support the paralysed side. You can place your leg on the support so that it is not in the way when you move around in the chair, for example.
If your arm is affected by paralysis, you can get large and angled handles to adjust the chair’s functions and apply the brakes.
The handles mean you can operate the chair yourself and exercise your paralysed side. Exercise is always important, despite reduced muscle strength.
Our hemiplegia aids give you a greater degree of independence. It is essential to manage as much as possible by yourself, and we want to contribute to that.
