I have a rocking recliner, didn't work post op as I couldn't get in and out easily. Bought an electric recliner that's not an ejector. On some recliners you have to push the foot section down with your legs as they don't have a lever, just a button. That doesn't work well post op as it's not easy to do that motion with strength. One problem with electric is if the power goes out, some have a battery backup.
