However, the wheelchairs could be used only to move on plane surfaces of slopes. They were not equipped enough for being used for climbing stairs. This forced the scientists to invent technologies that would allow people with disability to climb stairs. This need resulted in the advent of stairclimbers for disabled.
The stairclimbers for disabled are also often referred to as personal stairclimbers. This moving device provides the operators and passengers the sense of security and confidence to climb stairs in a hassle free manner. The innovative design of personal stairclimbers ensures that the user do not face any difficult while operating it on moving around on it. When descending, the personal stairclimber’s body does not change its position until the lifting feet of the unit reach the subsequent lower step.
