A headrest for user safety when
using a wheelchair for transportation
in a motorized vehicle seems reasonable.
Some might be fundable by Medicare
and state funds.

Could this be an ADA-provided
piece of equipment for public transit?

Is there a market for a universal design
headrest attachment?

Does the individual headrest attachment
need to be provided to meet specific needs
of the user which are related to a disabling
condition?
