Manual Wheelchair
Head/neck support in a manual wheelchair?
My elderly, invalid mother spends her waking hours in a manual wheelchair. (A basic model -- just a low canvas-like back to the thing.) I use the term "waking" liberally -- she sleeps very irregularly all through the day and night, and frequently dozes off in her chair. When she does, her head tends to loll back, and she often wakes from these "catnaps" with a stiff neck.
Does anyone make some sort of attachment that can be added on to such a chair when needed? One that would provide head and neck support when she dozes? I imagine it would have to be something that would attach to the metal supports/frame on either side of the canvas back. I can picture such a device in my mind, but home-brewing one is out of the question as I am not mechanically inclined. (I barely know which end of a screwdriver to use...) Anyone ever see such an animal at a medical supply place? I've researched the Net and made a few calls and no one seems to understand what I want. Thanks!
Yes there are wheelchair attachments that support the head and neck and different varieties too. Check here for one:

If they don't suit you do a general search in Google for wheelchair headrests.
