					Decent head rests for wheel chairs
				
				
						
						
				
					
						
							Hello,
I am a product design student in my final year, and for my final project I am looking at tackling a specific problem that I have encountered through experience.
 
In August 2008 my uncle had a stroke. While in a rehabilitation centre the physiotherapists there who tought him to walk again said that there are not any decent head rests for wheelchairs. They said that there is nothing to support people who have not got complete control of their head. Also, there is not a head rest that is adaptable to fit all. 
 
I was wondering if you agree with this problem? Is it a real need?
 
Are there any good solutions to this problem, that are already available?
 
 
Cheers,
Joe
