A tilt-in-space wheelchair is provided in which all seating angles are preset to a patient's needs and the entire seating system may be tilted backwardly or forwardly as a single unit, as desired, to redistribute the patient's sitting pressures. The apparatus is light in weight and may be installed on conventional, manually propelled folding wheelchairs and, when installed, the chair may still be folded to transport it to a different location. In use, the apparatus allows the sitting patient to be repositioned while maintaining in place all preset relative orientations of the patient's body and limbs.
