People who suffer from arthritis or another type of bone condition and have gone through major surgery can also benefit from a stairlift. Some people may be suffering from injuries which reduces strength, flexibility & mobility. These people can also make use of a stairlift as it eases the effort they use just trying to navigate the stairs.

If you’re still stuck on deciding whether or not you need a stairlift, an occupational therapist can assess you. They will be able to decide whether or not you would benefit from a stairlift in your home. Speaking with your GP would be the first step, as they can refer you to an OT.
