ABSTRACT:
An improved wheelchair and upper body support for supporting an occupant of the wheelchair. The wheelchair has two spaced-apart armrests for supporting the occupant. An upper body support is mounted on each of the spaced-apart armrests and includes a base member that has a front end and a back end. The upper body support further includes a padded backwall that is attached to the base member and that provides support for the occupant when an arm of the occupant is leaned thereon. The upper body support further includes a padded sidewall that is attached to the base member and provides support for the occupant when the occupant's arm is leaned thereon. A mechanism is also provided for securing each upper body support to one of the spaced-apart armrests. The padded backwall is removably attached to the base member so that the occupant may operate the wheelchair when the padded backwall is removed.
