ABSTRACT:
A head support and feeding aid is provided for a wheelchair patient whose head slumps forwardly when seated. A headband is attached to a frame on the wheelchair seat back by an adjustable cord. By progressively adjusting the length of the cord, the headband progressively lifts the patient's head to a more and more upright position. The length of the cord is adjusted by a releasable cord clamp behind the frame.
