Wheelchair Ward

Wheelchair Ward

These wheelchairs were very odd looking... the bottom piece moved up and down to adjust to varying leg lengths.

That's a strange looking wheelchair. It can't be very comforting to sit in.

A lot of these were used to move a patient in restraints (not necessarily a patient with cerebal palsy, but possibly.) The chair would allow you to pick up the patient and run straps across the outside to keep them in the chair without having to remove the restraints they are already in.

That is a great idea. It would be great to have all of our speculations and questions put to rest. It would be interesting to see there evolution too.
