ABSTRACT:
Wheelchairs can be provided with special seats having hinged connections with leg supports locatable in proximity to the seat front edge to provide resting surfaces for amputated legs of disabled persons while sitting in the wheelchair. Each leg support is attached to the seat front edge so as to be swingable between a raised position aligned with the seat, a lowered vertical position extending downwardly from the seat front edge, and an intermediate position extending angularly downwardly from the general plane of the seat. An adjustment mechanism is provided for varying the angle of the leg support in the intermediate position, to achieve a condition most comfortable for a range of users.
