Two outwardly swingable arm rests are attached at an appropriate position on the upward extensions of the rear legs. The front ends of the arm rests are detachably latched at the front of the chair. An adjustable leg support is pivotally mounted between the stanchions. An opening is provided with a hingeably mounted trap-door in the middle of the seat for toilet use. The horizontal portions of the arm rests can accommodate a hospital tray. A handlebar may be attached to the back support. All body contact areas are provided with vinyl webbing and appropriate removable and washable cushions. Outwardly rotatable individual foot supports may be constructed at the lower end of the adjustable leg support. The tubular construction material may be of steel reinforced vinyl tubing.
