This is the mounting plate that carries a headrest onto the back of a wheelchair. The lever is the point of it: a carer can release the plate, take the headrest off for transfers, transport or storage, and put it back without tools and without hunting for the original position again.
For clients who need head support only part of the day, or who travel in a vehicle where the headrest has to come off, a quick release plate saves a lot of small frustrations. It also helps in shared care settings where several people move the same chair and hardware set.
The extruded body is made to take the load of a headrest and its hardware in daily use, so the head position your client was set up with holds.
