ABSTRACT:
A body support unit is installable in a wheelchair to facilitate use of the wheelchair by a user having a leg amputated below the knee. The support unit includes a seat member and a leg support panel extending forwardly from the front edge of the member for supporting the user's amputated leg. The panel is hingedly suspended from the seat member for movement to a lowered position that allows the user to get into and out of the wheelchair without interference by the panel. A flexible strap-type leg restraint is mounted on the panel to immobilize the amputated leg in a horizontal position while the user is seated in the wheelchair.
