ABSTRACT:
A mobile inclinable stander with positioning chair (2) includes a mobile frame (4) and a body support frame (18) tiltably mounted to the mobile frame for movement between upright and reclined orientations. Chest (26), waist (28) and knee (30) supports are mounted to the body support frame. A seat (78) is removably mounted to the body support frame below the waist support so that the waist support acts as a back and arm rest of a positioning chair (119) for a user seated on the seat. The positioning chair is tiltable with the body support frame. The seat frame (84) has two sides (86, 88) pivotally attached to each other to permit opposed clamp plates (100) carried by the sides to be clamped onto the tiltable body support frame. The knee supports include a generally horizontal support post (52) mounted to the body support frame and a pivot tube (56) pivotably mounted over the support post. The position of the pivot tube along the support post is adjusted through the use of rubberized positioning rings (58) placed on the support post on either side of the pivot tube. A pair of spaced apart knee pad posts are secured to the pivot tube and have knee pads (68) removably secured thereto to engage the user's leg above and below the user's knee cap.
