How can you block a lift chair from raising too high?

My mother has a lift chair that she managed to use o.k. for the last 5 months but in the last three weeks she has raised it so high that she has "dumped" herself out on the floor. I contacted the seller to see if there was any to block the chair from raising too high but they were of no help. Does anyone know of a way to keep a lift chair from raising past a safe position?

Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."

 

I don't know of any. They are designed to operate smoothly. Maybe someone who knows electrical gadgets can figure out something. I'm surprised it goes that high. If anyone else has a solution, please chime in.
Good luck,
Carol
