Wheelchair users know that living at a different level does not offer the most intimate possibilities. Others don't understand. They live at a different height and communicate at that level. But in a chair, you're so much farther below them. And that makes it difficult to understand everything that's going on in the conversation. It leaves a wheelchair person feeling slightly "left out."

Up until now, this type intimacy has rarely been discussed, or even given the psychological weight that it carries for the handicapped. And certainly no manufacturer of a mechanical product has ever looked at the issue of intimacy. Nonetheless, it's true. "Life at a lower level" has limitations, especially when the rest of the world is far above you.

It's really an issue of social intimacy. It's not fun being in a crowded place and unable to see anything but a waistline in front of you. Participation is often difficult. And even a simple kiss or hug is a hassle -- but an issue that’s easily eliminated by being at their
level.

Your hearing isn't the only sense that's affected by being in a chair. Your sight is limited as well. For example, when dealing with people behind tall desks and counters, it is not only difficult for you to have a conversation with them, but direct eye-to- eye is virtually impossible. Constantly looking up at everyone creates physical as well as psychological issues. Being face-to-face with someone is always a more natural, comfortable position for any situation… and fosters more effective social connection.

Your stature is key in any situation. And being looked down upon in a wheel chair is something that can affect a person psychologically. It makes life inconvenient and daily tasks burdensome, but it may affect that person psychologically as well. If you must live in a wheelchair at waist level, that means anyone whose standing must bend over or talk down to you. When someone talks downward to another person, the impression is that the taller individual is a person of authority. For some, this may make the person "being talked down to" feel inferior. Not being face-to-face gives the impression of inequality.

Another difficult situation is going into public places… or anywhere that's crowded. There, people are less willing to accommodate your needs, and more likely to be standing up. At sporting events and concerts, your view is likely to be obstructed. In order to enjoy these types of events, elevation is absolutely necessary. With the Mobilife Chair, inconsiderate people won't ruin your enjoyment. Our chair always allows you to participate with the crowd.

Every human craves interaction and participation with other people. From simple everyday things like going to church, or just helping with the dishes after dinner. All this and more constitute unspoken ways of connecting with each other. Unfortunately, regular wheel chairs prevent you from taking part in much of this by limiting your reach. With the Mobilife Chair, you can Power Up yourself to be included.

One of the most intimate actions that can take place between two people is a hug. Sadly, this is something that is somewhat awkward to do while sitting in a chair. A full embrace is the best way to truly feel the warmth of another person, and to fully wrap your arms around each other… and it is not easily accomplished in a seated position.

A kiss? This passionate and loving interaction usually happens eye-to-eye. In an ordinary chair it's hard… and something as loving and delicate as a kiss is made awkward simply by being at an uncomfortable angle.

Intimacy can mean many things. But at the end of the day, it basically means interacting with people in a positive way. Being eye-to-eye with someone makes it much easier to connect. And it helps immeasurably to be looking someone straight in the eye. With the Mobilife Chair's adjustable elevation, you can control the height you want to be at any given moment.

What we want to do is bring you within the group. Be a member of the group. Hear as others hear. Enter the room, and enter the conversation on an equal basis. This is what is possible with the Mobilife Chair.
