ABSTRACT:
A standing support bar with adjustable heights is provided in front of the wheelchair so that the operator/patient can stand with safety. Foot rests fixed to the frame cause a flexing of the legs of the patient. A safety post fixed to the platform prevents excessive rearward tilting of a chair preventing the capsizing of a patient. The head rest is fixed to the rocking platform for supporting the patients head during rocking. A special addition to the power mechanism for rocking the wheelchair is provided with stop means for causing the platform to come to rest in a position convenient for the rolling of the wheelchair down from the platform. The pivoting ramp in the front of the platform maintains the gap, bringing the platform and the frame there beneath closed for safety during rocking.
