ABSTRACT:
A wheelchair construction which includes both removable patient foot supports and an outwardly extending patient leg support which can function to support the patient's legs in an upraised position when the foot supports have been removed.
The wheelchair construction also includes an easily removable inclined back support assembly having connector elements which are telescopically receivable within upstanding tubular rear members of the wheelchair mainframe for supporting the patient in a more comfortable reclined position. The leg support and inclined back support assemblies permit the wheelchair patient to shift positions and achieve a greater degree of comfort than is provided by the standard wheelchair back and foot supports.
