The apparatus is light in weight and may be installed on conventional, manually propelled folding wheelchairs and, when installed, the chair may still be folded to transport it to a different location. In use, the apparatus allows the sitting patient to be repositioned while maintaining in place all preset relative orientations of the patient's body and limbs.
