## Indications for use
Patients in wheelchairs present problems to clinicians who need to treat them and the patients themselves can be seriously disadvantaged by their situation. This is particularly true of dental treatment. To be treated the dentist would need to bend around the patient in the wheelchair, that cusses back pain and sometimes injury. An alternate approach is to transfer the patient to a conventional chair by slings and hoists or other approaches, all of which hold significant health and safety risks. The wheelchair platform offers a safe environment for both clinician and patient. The wheelchair is moved onto the platform up against a back wall support and the wheelchair and patient are then supported by a backrest and a head support. The platform is reclined, and possibly raised and lowered, to present the patient in the best position for treatment.
