can it be used to recovered from falling?

I don't know. I guess it depends on what kind of fall. The hand bars are too high if you are on the ground. The cross bar in the middle of each side looks flimsy and I don't know if it would take the pressure of pulling oneself up.I really don't see how somebody can fall while sitting on the toilet seat with this in use.

I don't believe it would be advisable to try to use it to help getting up from a fall. Too much weight on one side or on the front of the handle would cause it to tip. It's good when you use two hands, placed in the middle of the handle bars to help yourself up from a sitting position.

I really don't think it would be a good idea to try to get up from a fallen position using this. It's not very sturdy, in fact its kind of cheaply made and I don't think it would be much help in getting up after having fallen. It does OK for what it's designed for but that's about it.

I cannot answe the question. I bought mine for therapy to help work on my balance.

YES! However, you need to use the brakes to help keep your balance. I would use it only to move short distances such as at home.

I would not advise it. I used it daily, it seemed fine for awhile but in under a year it collapsed. I weigh just under 180 pounds.

No for it is for broken foot and just rest the knee on it. Will not be able to hold the weight of a whole body

I did but it landed on the back corner. There was no damage. I can't say for sure that it will protect it from all drops or falls but it would certainly help protect it.

My Dad uses it to get in and out of bed, so I have it set up at the head of the bed. If you position it in the middle of the bed, it would help keep a older person from falling out of bed.

It definately is not a case to protect from large falls. It serves well as an everyday bump and nudge protection case.

Yes, however I used it twice but it won't stay down. No matter how often I restick it down. Have stopped using it for that reason.

Yes, this device is very stable and could defiantly accommodate gravity boots. You would have to move it around quite a bit to potentially tip over.

I really do not know. The reason I purchased it was for rehabilitation of my broken ankle. I used it in a sitting position with my foot in the middle moving back and forth and side to side.

I did not own this device long enough to find out. I was working out and it fell about 3 feet and it broke. If you choose to buy this device make sure you purchase all of the protective gear also. It is very fragile.

Have not done that, but it can be used to get someone off the ground to a bed or a chair. I don't see why it might not work.

Probably not. You can try, but I think the stand would fall over more often than not.

The first couple of times I used it my husband stood by since it was a new experience. But I don't think you would need any help. We were very cautious at first, just going down from horizontal to vertical in small increments. We only stay on it for 5 minutes, too. And come up slowly so we don't get light headed. I think it has really helped my situation.

I doubt it would protect it unless it happened to land right on it's back. It is fairly slippery as well so the danger is there more than with other cases I have.

Not sure...probably would depend on the distance of the fall and the angle of impact.
