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