Yes, there are special ‘Perch stairlifts’ or Standing stairlifts for those who have difficulty with bending either their hips or knees, on which you stand instead of sitting as it takes you up or down the stairs.

This can also help with narrow staircases as there is no seat to take up space. However, to operate a Perch stairlift safely, you must have good balance, be able to stand for the journey, and not suffer from dizzy spells.
