Sometimes you'll see retarded children in really tilted wheelchairs, almost like they're looking directly at the sky.
Why do they need to be tilted at all times like that?
It is to take the pressure off the person's skin so they won't get bed sores or pressure marks. Those types of wheelchairs are good for the person to change positions to stay more comfortable. Hope this answers your question.

Features of the TubBuddy Bathing Transfer System: The TubBuddy Tilt is an ergonomic bathing transfer system which carries one special feature the original TubBuddy does not. The unit allows for safe and easy transfer over and out of the bath tub incorporating a tilt option. The tilt option allows the caregiver to relieve pressure for the patient while simultaneously making it easier to bathe the patient. The tilt option alleviates caregiver strain by allowing the patient to slide over the bath tub without having to lift their legs. Bath time can be a struggle and a danger for wheelchair-bound individuals and their caregivers, particularly when using a bathtub as opposed to a shower stall. Transferring the patient in and out of the tub, attempting to move an individual who lacks upper body control, and repositioning the patient to wash all body parts put both parties at risk. Even bath chairs equipped with slider transfer systems require lifting the patient’s legs over the tub, presenting additional hazards. The TubBuddy, a new bath chair transfer system, solves these problems with a patent-pending, industry-first hydraulic tilting mechanism that enables the chair to lean back and lock at a 10, 20 or 30-degree incline with the press of a lever. This unique tilting capability reduces the risk of having the patient fall out of the chair during either the transfer or bathing process, and it allows the patient’s legs to easily clear the side of the tub without the strain and potential mishaps associated with physically lifting them. The ability to recline the chair also provides trunk and head support, relieves pressure points, offers easier access to the buttocks and other intimate areas, and makes bath time a more comfortable experience overall. The TubBuddy also features a built-in commode for bedside use; a roll-over commode capability for standard toileting; a tub base unit with a bearingless track that requires no oiling or maintenance; and the first transfer bridge that can be resized to accommodate odd-sized bathtubs or unusual bathroom layouts. The bridge is removable, allowing patients with sufficient mobility to bathe independently behind a shower door or curtain. In addition, the TubBuddy is the first system of its kind made of 95% high grade aluminum and 5% stainless steel for greater strength, better rust resistance and longer life. In fact the TubBuddy will not rust, corrode, bend, or break. It can handle patients up to 440 pounds, includes locking casters as well as flip-up armrests and adjustable footrests, and is latex- and silicone-free.Products Specifications: Rolling Base: 20"W x 35"D.

Nina Muhonen on a tilting table
My friend is dressing up as a cerebral palsy patient on a wheelchair for halloween. i think its insensitive?
what do u think? i think its kinda insensitive n its poking fun at people with such a condition.
she will be sitting on a wheelchair which she 'borrowed' from the school janitor, her limbs will be like twisted in awkward angles, her head tilted 45 degrees with tongue stuck out, n she's gonna speak in slur.
This is highly offensive and I would ask that you distance yourself from this "friend" while she is dressed up in this vulgar way.
