Abstract: An orthopedic chair particularly suited for bathing handicapped individuals. A sling-type body is supported by an adjustable frame. In the portion supporting the legs, two U-shaped rigid members support and divide the sling in two U-shaped slings to individually support and separate the legs. The upper portion adjacent the head is releasable to allow the head to be unsupported and provide access for washing the head and hair. By reclining the chair and releasing the head supporting portion, the head and hair of the individual are placed in close proximity to the water of a bathtub wherein the chair is placed. Additionally, the structure provides a grip for the individual when in such a reclining position.
