ABSTRACT:
A seating system is provided for a wheel chair including a chassis, two drive wheels, and two swivel mounted casters. The seating system comprises a frame which is adjustably mountable to the chassis. The frame includes two side members and at least one cross-brace member. A seat is removably mounted to the frame for seating a user. The seat may be padded, have webbing material, be sling-back, or be of molded construction. A back rest is mounted to the frame and may include a locking mechanism cooperating with the frame for locking the back rest at an adjustable upright position. A leg rest including a foot rest is adjustably mounted to the frame and includes a leg rest clamping mechanism for clamping the leg rest at a fixed angular orientation relative to the frame. The foot rest may be pivoted to adjust the ankle angle of the user.
