ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supportably attaching a leg rest to a wheel chair comprising at least one seat frame member and a telescoping linkage slidably received within the seat frame member such that the linkage may be retracted and extended along a telescoping path parallel to a length of the seat frame member. The leg rest is supportably and pivotally attached to a forward end of the telescoping linkage at a hinge point wherein the hinge point is positioned proximate the knee of the user. The leg rest may be pivoted about the hinge point upward to a generally reclined horizontal position when the telescoping linkage is extended and downward to a generally vertical position when the telescoping linkage is retracted.
