Wheel-chair adapted to enable the patient to stand up

摘要

The present invention relates to a wheelchair which enables the patient to stand up and be supported laterally, forwardly, and rearwardly, and consists of a conventional frame resting on the ground by means of displacement members and supporting a seat. Said wheelchair has a movable structure, with two independent frames which extend parallel to the sides of the wheelchair, one frame on each side of said chair, and which are mounted for pivoting on the said conventional frame about horizontal transverse axes which permit their forward pivoting movement over substantially 90° during which a set of bars pivotally mounted to said independent frames is moved from a first position of the structure, at the back of the seat, to a second position of the structure, in the free space at the front of the said seat.
