In addition, patient support (32) is forwardly and rearwardly tiltable about a pivot axis (68) when back, seat, leg, and foot sections (34, 38, 42, 46) are locked in the sitting-up position, the table position, or any position therebetween. Patient support (32) can be raised and lowered relative to the floor (62) on which chair (20) sets. Additionally, chair (20) includes a center wheel (82) that engages floor (62) to assist steering of chair (20) during transport.
