A leg amputation can come in many different guises and present several challenges in daily life. At VELA, we produce chairs that make everyday life easier for people with disabilities, such as leg amputation, to help recovery for the elderly.
We have a large selection of electric wheelchairs and VELA chairs with different functions. Therefore, we can meet the challenges that a leg amputation can present in your everyday life.
At VELA, we create chairs for people with many different disabilities. It is, therefore, possible to get aids for leg amputation that are tailored to you. Our chairs help with:
When you no longer have to spend energy worrying about your safety and keeping your balance, you can spend it on something else – and you will not tire nearly as much.
Fatigue is often a loyal companion for users with an amputated leg. However, reducing fatigue can lead to a much more manageable everyday life.
We have developed our aids to support the user as the stump of the amputated leg is supported. In that way, you sit more stable and comfortable, and you get a better balance. Comfort and support can also reduce the risk of phantom pain.
The chair needs to fit your needs, and we have several options for amputees. In addition, the chair creates better balance and relieves pain with, e.g. relieving amputation support and a large selection of seats and backrests with different types of foam and support – depending on your needs.
I used to burn myself on the oven all the time, whenever I needed to take something out of it. That doesn’t happen anymore. Now I raise the chair up to the oven, and that means I do not burn myself on the edge of the oven door.Read the full story
We create leg amputation chairs for the individual, which means you can get a solution that suits your needs. For example, you can get a two-part arthrodesis seat. This gives you the option of an open hip angle and individual supports for the thighs.
A folding footrest can also support you and give you stability when you need to reach something high. The chair supports you when changing your sitting position during the day, and it counteracts pressure sores. A good ergonomic starting point can make all the difference for users with amputated legs.
We can adapt our chairs to your needs. This means you get an optimal leg amputation chair that will support you in the particular challenges you face in everyday life.
