Fall Recovery and Mobility Aid: The Simple Solution After a Fall

I haven't had to use it -yet - but now I'm ready. I've used exercise stools pulling thick books on top the problem was keeping my hands alive my back to pull up. This is sturdy folds out seems not to slide but braced on my wheelchair I can pull the bottom up! Fold weight size to about a square. About 2 feet long ( I didn't measure) has a bag that fits over it to keep it dust free. Has 3 steeps so not to high for use. I'm female 5'6" and in a wheelchair.

Expensive, but much cheaper than an ambulance, possibly breaking down your front door, doctor bills and lengthy tests. I was down for over seven hours after a fall. I wasn't near a phone ( I now wear a Medical Alert System). With each passing hour I got weaker. Sometimes going into and out of shock. I had a lot of time to think of what would work. These ResQup stairs are great and are wide enough to scoot up to a seated position to standing. That's the time to self treat for shock by lying down covering up and drinking electrolytes until a loved one, caregiver or emergency services get there. By the way I'm not Matt. I'm his mom. The only other thing I would suggest is a furniture dolly that is wide enough long enough and would hold the weight of your torso and head. That is not over 3 inches tall that you could roll over onto your back. Then propel yourself by using your feet to another room where your ResQup stairs await you. Don't laugh, the energy you use trying to scoot yourself any other way is prohibitive and exasperating the problem. Thanks to the doctor for inventing this product. If anything else it gives you peace of mind.

Excellent product. I like how they fold to a compact package. Easy to use but could use some padding on steps for knees (or legs, hip or tailbone) Very expensive. Seems durable.

We bought this to help my aging father get himself off the floor and back on his bed. However he's not got the muscle power to get up the "flight" of stair steps. So it did not work for us. But the product is well constructed and easy to set up.

The ResQUp has become a valuable tool when I do work around my house. Being in a wheelchair one of the challenges when you transfer to the ground onto a smooth surface is not having your feet slip from underneath you when you’re trying to transfer back up. The ResQUp has eliminated this as a problem. Now when I’m done working from the floor all I need to do is pull up my ResQUp. Open it, transfer to the first then to the second and the third step and then into my chair. No longer needing to worry if my feet are slipping underneath me and fearing that I will fall. I highly recommend this tool for active wheelchair users you won’t regret it five stars!

My father is an above the knee amputee. Now that he’s older, falling is a common occurrence. Doctors haven’t been able to figure out what causes him to fall. Often, he does not have the strength to stand up on one leg by himself. These steps have helped him countless times to at least be able to get to a chair and transfer himself. I think they’re extremely pricey given the simple design yet worth their weight in gold when needed. Just wish I had come up with this simple idea myself.

1. Not worth it...only desperation made m buy it. 2. Very unbelievable painful on knees. 3. Should have paid more attention to arm strength: It means a LOT of strength needed. So, so sorry I bought it. Don't buy unless you can try it.,

My husband falls inside our home periodically. It would take over an hour or calling someone (with strength) to come over and help get him up off the floor. I bought him the ResQup for Christmas. He was not happy with my purchase because it was pricey and looked a little cheaply made in the pictures. However, the first time he fell after Christmas, all was forgiven. Though not perfect - I was able to help him up onto a chair within about 10 minutes. A first for us. This device is sturdier than it appears, and stores easily. It will give us more time to enjoy in our home without outside assistance.
