ABSTRACT:
A passive restraint apparatus and method of passive restraint are provided for supporting a user, i.e., preferably an adult, in a substantially upright seated position so as to enable the user to maintain free upper torso movement. The restraint apparatus includes an upper back section for extending along the back section of a chair or wheelchair, a seat section for extending beneath a user's lower torso along a seat of the chair, a lower leg section for extending beneath a user's lower legs, and a lower torso panel for extending between a user's legs and securing about the back of the chair. The restraint apparatus supports the user in an upright seated position, supports the user's feet from dangling off of the foot supports of a wheelchair, and can readily be obscured while in use by covering it with a blanket or the like. The restraint apparatus can also function as a stretcher for the transporting of fragile or uncooperative people from the chair to another location and minimizing the risk of injury to the person and the transporters.
