How a VELA chair for work can help you and your disability:

Brake and wheels – keep you safe and mobile

The chair has a brake, so you sit stable while you work or “walk” the chair around while seated. In addition, the brake provides safety, so you don’t have to worry about the chair moving away from under you. Our chairs with brakes look like standard office chairs.

Electric lift

Electric lift helps you save your energy when you need to get up and sit down. Changing the chair’s seat height is easy with the touch of a button. A work chair with a brake and electric lift is an excellent aid in your working day. 

The proper backrest and seat

Choose a VELA work chair with brake and electric lift

The brake keeps you stable while sitting. A regular office chair can’t guarantee this, and it can be exhausting to waste your strength and energy worrying whether the chair is going to roll away. 

You can ‘walk’ or push a VELA mobility chair around while sitting down, and that means you don’t have to waste unnecessary energy on getting up and sitting down – you just ‘walk’. 

If you need to grab something in the top cupboard at your workplace, the chair’s electric lift can bring you up to the right height. The brake ensures that the chair doesn’t roll out from under you while raising or lowering the chair’s height – it’s safe and secure.

Furthermore, the chair’s comfortable backrest and seat can help reduce your pain, just as the chair, of course, can be adjusted to fit you ergonomically.

VELA Work chair with back support for disability at work

A good electric office chair with brakes for work can be crucial for disabled adults. If you sit at a desk every day, a work chair from VELA with back support can provide excellent conditions for changing your working posture during the day. 

The seat can be angled forward so that your feet have a good support surface, and you get an open hip angle that makes it easier to sit nicely at a desk. In addition, the proper sitting height and sitting posture mean that your shoulders automatically become more relaxed, providing a good working posture. 

VELA work chairs for disability at work also allow you to get up to work by the computer. Raise your desk, lock the chair’s wheels and tilt the seat forward. It supports a partially standing working position, enabling you to have varied working postures during a long day. The chair still supports you, and it’s not too stressful for your legs and back.
