Over the years we have worked with hundreds of wonderful people to understand their mobility challenges and how the Zeen® technology would address many of their requirements and desires. Below are a number of common concerns that we hear from clients looking for a mobility device. Please note how the unique features of the Zeen address each of these issues and see if the Zeen might be the right solution for you.
“I have fallen many times and do not feel safe on my own or using a walker or cane.”
The seat of the Zeen is underneath and behind you at all times, providing support through the backside and hips. Integral with the seat is a retractable seatbelt that keeps your center of gravity in the center of the Zeen structure; which in turn keeps the Zeen extremely stable and a true aid to fall-prevention.
“I have been losing strength in my legs since I started using my wheelchair regularly.”
The Zeen is propelled using your legs, either sitting down or standing up. It is designed to safely encourage you to move under your own power and keep your leg muscles active and healthy—and yet rest whenever you like. The Zeen is also superb for gait training and exercising to help build leg strength and endurance.
“I am tired of being lower than everyone and feeling excluded while in my wheelchair during conversations.”
The game-changing feature of a Zeen is its ability to lift you from a seated position to a standing position, while supporting up to 75% of your body weight. The “barstool-height” feature of the Zeen allows you to sit back on the saddle and relax at your normal, sociable height for eye-level engagement with your peers. No more looking up and straining your neck to talk with someone.
“My upper body has been experiencing pain and my posture is getting worse with my walker.”
With the device behind you, the Zeen encourages an upright posture and uses the lower body more. You will not be putting much weight on your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, and back. Zeen enables you to walk tall, with or without handlebars extended, and move freely for longer periods of time.
“I have not been able to cook in the kitchen or go grocery shopping in a while.”
The handlebars on the Zeen are retractable allowing hands-free accessibility, safely, in front of your body. You’ll be able to get back to cooking and doing many things you love to do. With the Zeen, no part of the device is separating you from the rest of the world.
“I cannot walk far from my house because I get tired quickly.”
A wonderful feature of Zeen is that it allows you to walk as far as you want, rest easily by sitting back on the seat at any time, and then begin walking again when you’re ready. There’s no need to worry about searching for a bench to sit down on. Your Zeen is the most comfortable seat you’ll find.
“It’s a hassle to go anywhere because I have to bring both my wheelchair and walker.”
The Zeen is your one device to bring along—it’s your wheelchair for being pushed, your walker for upright walking, and a unique coasting device for rapidly getting around. It’s also your sit-to-stand device to help with transfers. For trips, the Zeen folds to 11” wide and will fit into the back seat or the trunk of your car.
“I cannot stand up on my own.”
The Zeen technology is designed to lift as much as 75% of your body weight to help you get from sitting to standing and back down to sitting, anytime you want, and not with motors whining: as silently and rapidly as you wish. This greatly reduces your need for assistance.
Zeen is the perfect solution for those that have moderate use of their legs, grip strength in at least one hand, and the cognitive ability and desire to learn a new mobility technology.
