A high back day chair is for the client who spends most of the day out of bed and needs the chair to do some of the postural work. The tall back carries the trunk and head, so the person is not holding themselves up for hours at a time.
Chairs like this earn their place in aged care rooms, supported accommodation and home living areas where the client transfers in once and stays for a long stretch. Full length arms give something to push up from when they are ready to stand, and the upright seat angle keeps them in a position that suits eating and conversation.
