Arise is a manual wheelchair with an inbuilt feature that allows the user to independently rise to a standing position.

Arise is a completely mechanical standing wheelchair. While it functions like a regular wheelchair in facilitating mobility, it further allows users to raise themselves into the standing position with the muscle power of the arms. When Arise is optimally adjusted, the effort required to operate the standing mechanism is only about the same as the effort required to propel the wheelchair. In addition to typical safety features such as straps and guards, additional locking mechanisms are incorporated in Arise to prevent accidental activation and to ensure the stability of the user when standing. Affordability has been achieved by creating a novel mass-manufacturable mechanical design that incorporates the customizability required to accommodate a wide range of wheelchair users.
