Description
Take a Stand, on Your Terms with the Permobil F5 VS Corpus Standing Powerchair
The Permobil F5 Corpus VS combines powered standing, advanced Corpus seating and a front-wheel drive base in a highly configurable prescription powerchair.
For someone who cannot stand independently, the opportunity to change position and take part in activities at standing height can make a meaningful difference to daily life. The F5 Corpus VS is designed to make standing available within the powerchair, with the sequence, seating and supports configured around the person using it.
Permobil’s independent Agile suspension helps provide a comfortable, controlled ride, while lightweight swing-away knee supports are available to assist with access and transfers. The chair can also be configured with specialist seating, controls and accessories following assessment.

Why Consider a Standing Powerchair?
Supported standing can offer opportunities to change position throughout the day, reduce load on the seated areas, reach and interact at a different height, and participate in activities without transferring to separate standing equipment.
Research into power standing has also explored potential effects on comfort, pressure management, bowel and bladder function, independence and quality of life. The benefits and any risks vary by individual. A standing programme, position and duration should be considered with your clinical team rather than assumed from the chair’s features alone.
Built Around You
The F5 Corpus VS is a prescription powerchair. Our rehab product specialists assess your posture, transfers, range of movement, drive controls and the places you need to use the chair. We then consider the standing sequence, seating and supports as part of one complete specification.
Where additional clinical input is helpful, our in-house Occupational Therapist can provide a separate specialist seating assessment and pressure mapping through Unique Mobility Clinical Services. We work alongside your own OT, physiotherapist, case manager and family where appropriate. Compatible third-party seating and specialist controls can also be explored as part of the assessment.
From our branches in Exeter, Plymouth and Launceston, Unique Mobility supports customers across Devon and Cornwall through assessment, setup and handover. Our in-house engineering team provides ongoing servicing and repairs.
