Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1993008772
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A chair restraint (20) for supporting a patient in a sitting position from a chair or the like includes an upper torso support member (24) having an orthotic support panel (52) readily removable therefrom. The orthotic support panel (52) is made from a plastic which is readily deformable by a heat gun or the like such that it may be custom fit to surround the patient both from his back and sides to provide lateral support to the patient. The upper torso restraint member (24) includes a pair of straps (66), (68) extending forwardly to wrap around the front of the patient to thereby secure the patient within the upper torso restraint member (24). A seat cushion member (26) includes a flat panel stiffener (70) to provide a firm base for the patient and an interior cushioning member (72) which is inclined generally rearwardly to thereby cradle the patient within the restraint (10). A center divider member (74) of cushioning material provides two separately defined areas for receiving the patient's legs. Straps (28), (30), (36), (38), (40), (42) are provided for securing the upper torso restraint member to the seat cushion member, and both of those members independently to the chair frame.
