ProBasics 90-160° High-Back Reclining Wheelchair with Removable Desk Arms & Elevating Leg Rests

For stroke recovery patients, bed-bound individuals, and seniors dealing with severe orthostatic hypotension or trunk weakness, sitting upright for hours causes extreme fatigue, forward sliding, and dangerous pressure sores. The wheelchair for patients with a reclining back (ProBasics Reclining Wheelchair) provides comprehensive, continuous posture management by smoothly tilting the occupant from an upright 90-degree position back to a relaxing 160-degree recline. Constructed around a robust slide-tube carbon steel chassis with an electrostatically applied silver vein finish, this clinical-grade mobility chair delivers unwavering stability during extended recovery in private homes, hospice units, and rehabilitation centers.

Every structural point of this high-back system is tailored for medical comfort and caregiver safety. Its tall backrest connects with an included 13-inch removable headrest extension complete with cushioned head immobilizer supports, keeping the cervical spine aligned during resting angles. Pneumatic gas-piston elevating leg rests raise the lower limbs to infinite micro-angles without stepped notches, reducing dependent leg swelling and promoting venous blood return. To protect against backward tipping during full 160-degree extension, the rear drive wheels are deliberately set further back on the slide-tube frame and backed by pre-installed rear anti-tippers. Outfitted with detachable padded desk-length arms for sliding transfers and table dining, 8″ × 1″ solid rubber front casters, mag-style composite drive wheels, push-to-lock brakes, a rear chart pocket, and wipe-clean vinyl upholstery, this reclining chair delivers reliable therapeutic support across indoor spaces.

Technical Breakdown & Dimensions

Who Benefits Most & Therapeutic Applications

• Post-Stroke & Spinal Patients: The 160-degree recline relieves tailbone pressure and prevents forward sliding for users who lack strong upper-body trunk control.
• Individuals with Severe Edema: Gas-piston elevating leg rests lift legs above heart level to alleviate fluid pooling and leg swelling.
• Seniors with Blood Pressure Drops: Allows caregivers to quickly lower the backrest to a horizontal angle if the patient experiences orthostatic dizziness.
• Table Dining & Slide Transfers: Desk-length padded arms slide under kitchen tables and remove completely for unhindered sliding-board transfers to bed.
• Hospice & Extended Home Care: Wipe-clean vinyl upholstery and steel tubing withstand high-frequency cleaning protocols without peeling or rusting.

Setup, Reclining & Maintenance Guidance

To unfold the wheelchair, press downward firmly on both outer seat rails until the frame clicks open and the vinyl seat is taut. Slide the 13-inch headrest extension into the top backrest tubes until the locking pins click into place. Mount the pneumatic elevating leg rests onto the front receiver pins and rotate inward until they latch. To recline the chair, stand behind the backrest, squeeze the dual reclining levers, and slowly guide the backrest downward to the desired angle between 90 and 160 degrees; release the levers to lock the backrest in place. Always engage both push-to-lock wheel brakes before reclining the chair or assisting transfers. Clean the silver vein frame and vinyl upholstery using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap or hospital-grade surface wipes, drying thoroughly with a clean towel.
