QUESTION: Hi, I was wondering if the arm side tables fold down. Also does it require for the aid to help the patient to sit up? Will it require a push up from behind the back support or push down on the foot/leg rest to bring the patient to a sit up position? Thanks, Belinda ANSWER: 1. The side tables do fold down. 2. The recliner has 3 positions, upright, TV and recline, most patients do not require assistance to adjust to the desired position. However if the patient is frail or has no upper body strength, the care giver will most likely need to assist. The recliner also come with Trendelenberg. The care giver DOES need to assist with this position. 3. Using the foot rest to change the recline position is NOT recommended.
