ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for providing improved blood circulation to a person seated in a wheelchair or a stationary chair used by handicapped persons, or by those who must remain inactive in a seated position for extended periods of time. The apparatus imparts an undulating, wave-like motion to the flexible seat portion of the chair which stimulates the circulation of blood in the lower extremities and prevents the development of ischaemic or decubitus ulcers by providing changing points of pressure on the buttocks and thighs of a seated individual. The apparatus is of lightweight, compact construction which may be readily applied to a conventional wheelchair or chair, and may be powered by a small storage battery mounted thereon.
