Multi Use/ Integration of Function

Many products at Life Tec were suited to multiple tasks, for instance; 
The wheeled walker frame is an example of an integrated assistive technology as it assists the user in everyday mobility through supporting the person from falling forwards and minimising weight to support. Similarly, it acts as a seat, however it does not have back support. In addition to these functions the user can also use the basket for storage.

For those limited quite severely in mobility and strength multi positioning tilt chairs are available which allows the user to sit and be social, in an upright stance or recline to relax or sleep if getting in and out of the chair is hard. Similarly recliners are available which gently ease the user out of the chair to an upright position to assist with those who lack the strength necessary.
