An invalid chair restraint for securing a patient in a chair (or wheelchair) in a substantially upright and seated position. The restraint includes a back portion which is releasably secured to the back of the chair with a securing strap that extends from opposite edges of the back portion. This back portion is integrally formed with a seat portion which is dimensioned for receiving the lower to mid torso of the patient. In this connection, the seat portion includes a section upon which the patient is seated, and a crotch strap that extends between the legs of the patient. A body securing element is releasably joined to the distal end of the crotch strap, with this body securing element embracing the patient for holding the torso of the patient in a desired and substantially upright posture. In the preferred embodiment, this body securing element is a pair of straps that pass over the shoulders of the patient and releasably engage the securing strap that embraces the back of the chair. Further, in this preferred embodiment, the body securing element is joined to the crotch strap with fasteners that permit the effective length of the body securing element to be adjusted.
