Upright handlebars recommendations

So my Schwinn work bike has what we used to call "upright" handlebars, and my fun bike has "Origin8 Citi Classic" aluminum bars that I like a lot. I prefer upright bars because the onset of old age has made it impossible for me to ride drop bars, and flat bars pound the heck out of my wrists. I also just prefer the more upright posture for urban riding.

Now my spouse would like to try upright bars on her old but nice road bike, which she no longer rides due to the same issues.

What I'd like to know is, are there any other "upright" bars that I should consider? The Origin8 seem to be of fine quality, but I don't want to overlook anything. It may be that I'm having a hard time searching because I'm using the wrong terminology.
