The long handle model is for simple weeding in the garden. It is not for pulling up dandelions or other weeds. You can search Amazon for long handle cobrahead.

I rode this bike for 55 minutes yesterday and was up all night with a backache. I usually ride an upright and have never had any back problems on the upright style.

I use it for my back routines. Seated in a upright position and pulling using the upright handles

did you ever find out? I'm looking to buy a chair now and I have the same back problem . . .

Hi...Certainly, the type that I had bought felt odd in dorsal. However, it is a reality that it was possible to sit any more comfortably. Thank you !

I personally use the large handles to slowly pull myself up to level, then you sit up from there. I would recommend finding a similar unit to try out before you buy to make sure it's right for you.

There is no back handle on mine. Beware the fancy spout on this. It fell apart on me after 3 or 4 uses.

You really do need some one there---How frail is Mom?. I'm not joking. My husband and I went through numerous Maxi rub's. Not because they are bad---but it's the greatest and best gift I ever gave my construction worker husband. We used to do each others backs every night for 1/2 an hour each and it really did the greatest number on our backs. He's passed now and I really realize what a great deal of help that massager was doing for both of us. I miss him---and our 1/2 therapy with that maxi. It would be awkward if it was for your Mom to do on her own. If she had a lower back problem she might be able to "prop" it in a chair and lean against it. If she's elderly it might be a problem. I'm 64 and I bought myself a "Shiatsue" massager (sp). If your Mom has siatica (sp) that might be a problem too. Some women who have Calcium deficiancy in their bones might find this uncomfortable. There are cheap models under a 100.00 out there but they aren't much good---the one that's about 125.00 or so is great---My boss borrowed it and 4 friends---I had to threaten one of those to give it back. They are like a matte that you sit on with a back. The good ones have metal or hard plastic balls in the back part that go up and down---mine can go side to side along the spine---you can also use the remote to hit the button to make it stay in one spot. I love mine---If any of this is too much sometimes a plain old heating pad works Let me know if you need more help-I've had back problems my whole life with a handicap child

If you adjust a cane very high to keep you upright, it will lessen the strain on your back. I have a bad back and this helps a lot.

The handle goes up front under your legs, the curve around your bottom. As you sit, grab the handle between your legs and pull it forward so that the curve is snug around your bottom, curving up your back some.

Sorry, the back is fixed and cannot be adjusted backwards. For your needs, I would suggest a backless bench that has no side arms. Also explore oversized medical supplies.

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

Sorry I don't know . I live in the UK they live in the States. Here in UK you can get extended handles for tall people

I can reach my own back with no problem. This massager is great and has a long handle but having a partner do it would be more fun.

It was comfortable for my 5' 10" daughter in law (she's the tallest in our family). It would not be hard to add an extension if you needed it, either! I honestly don't remember exactly how long the handle was, sorry!

I think that this might work for you, maybe for a year. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Good luck finding the right wheelchair. =)

I think the chair is about as flexible as regular shorter-backed chairs. I take my mom outside all the time. It manipulates best if you go out a door backwards (like dragging the chair). We go over rough surfaces and door jams. The value of this style chair is that the back reclines so the patient is more comfortable to nap. I got the larger 22" chair and am so glad. My mom is not large at all but this gives her more room to change her position a little. We use pillows at her sides so she is comfortable. Also much safer as most patients will slump forward with the possibility of falling forward, out of the chair. For the money the chair is of outstanding quality. It has been used almost every day for 6 months and the fabric is not showing signs of wear. I highly recommend the chair.
