Recliner Wheelchair is designed to add more comfort for long-term wheelchair users. It helps the user to change from a sitting position to a lying down position. A reclining wheelchair is ideal for users with low mobility and those who require high back and head support while in the reclining position. It redistributes the pressure on the buttocks by changing the user's sitting posture from a 90-degree angle to a 180-degree angle. Most high back reclining wheelchairs come with armrests and elevated leg rests that can be adjusted or removed. There are a number of reclining wheelchairs and tilt-in-space wheelchairs that are comfortable and support the user's upper body.
