ABSTRACT:
A fully adjustable upper torso and head support positioning system that retro fits to nearly any standard wheelchair is provided. This system has two individually adjustable lateral pads to provide comfortable yet positive adjustable support to fit the unique contours of a wide variety of users. An integrated head support adjusts vertically to an individual's height and adjusts horizontally to accommodate a moderate to severe Kyphosus. The head and shoulder support adjustments facilitate the present invention's use for patients with varying heights and shoulder widths. The aforementioned head and shoulder supports are attached to a mounting bracket which is designed in a manner that facilitates its easy attachment to the varying designs of wheelchairs currently used today.
