ABSTRACT:
A multipositioning power mobility aid for physically challenged children is provided. The power mobility aid provides a transition to a power wheelchair. The power mobility aid includes a multipositioning main frame that allows a child to be placed in a sitting, semi-standing or standing position without requiring multiple adjustments. The back support rotates to a nonsupporting position to facilitate placing a child in or removing a child from the power mobility aid. The back support then locks into an upright supporting position after the child is positioned in the power mobility aid. The power mobility aid includes an adjustable arm that supports the user-operable input device in multiple locations.
