ABSTRACT:
A rocking wheelchair is provided with multiple adjustable features to meet various needs of different users with respect to safety, comfortableness and user/caregiver convenience. The rocking wheelchair includes an adjustable maximum rocking motion setting for users to select a preferable maximum rocking motion within a predetermined safety range. Rock/tilt locking mechanisms enable the seat assembly to be locked in either a normally unoccupied position or one of a plurality of tilt positions. The footrests can be selectively attached to either the frame for supporting the user's feet in a stationary position, or to the seat assembly to rock together therewith. The wheelchair can also be adjusted in height and is formed with a relatively simple configuration which is convenient for manufacturing.
