Does the Ascender Seating System have credibility as a medical device?
The technical expertise and criteria for this unique patented medical seating system was provided by the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, the nation’s only teaching hospital (Harvard Medical School) devoted to the treatment of Arthritis and Rheumatism. At the Brigham the Ascender underwent extensive clinical testing for over three years and its benefits have been proven in a published scientific study. In addition, there have been many published studies that support the importance of high seating as opposed to using standard height (19 inches or less) chairs.
