Attendant controls are also available and, when placed in back of the chair, make it easy for an attendant to direct the movement of the chair. Both tilt and recline features in the seat are desirable. The recline feature requires the back to bend at the waist. The tilt feature rotates the entire chair seat and the body is not required to bend. The recline feature alone is not adequate for this purpose.
Adjustable pegs are also a requirement.
Pegs should be equipped with leg supports, usually a standard feature of all chairs. Arm rests that will swing back and out of the way make seat ingress and egress easier, especially if one requires assistance in transferring. Arm rests with troughs to hold the arms in place are a helpful feature, as well as padded palm rests for weakened arms and hands. A cushioned adjustable headrest is desirable. Manual adjustment of the headrest is okay.
