Chairs for disabled elderly patients, made of easily washable materials and designed with a high back that can be adjusted from upright to several tilted positions, according to patient\'s needs and comfort. These chairs usually include footrests, a table (e.g., wraparound, cut-out) for patient use (e.g., dining, writing), a safety belt, and casters for easy transportation. Most chairs also include other accessories or restraints according to the patient\'s disabilities. Some geriatric chairs provide rocking-motion capability.
