Choice
of Controls
This
is another important issue to consider when you are buying a
stairlift. There are many types of control and they vary
according to which manufacturers product you choose.
  
You
will need to consider which type of control will be most
suitable for you. To use the stairlift you will have to be
able to keep the control button pressed for the whole length
of the trip. If you suffer from arthritis, for example, this
could be quite painful. A joystick or toggle control would be
easier to use in these circumstances as it will take the
pressure off your fingers and is easier on the wrists. It is
also possible to have an attendant control so someone else in
the house can send the lift up and down for you. It is
important to choose the control that you feel most comfortable
with.
