Abstract
A lift and recliner chair which is positionable in multiple reclining positions including both a Trendelenburg and zero-gravity position, in which using an electronic actuator mechanism the position of the back frame can be adjusted to any lift and/or reclining position the chair is capable of achieving without requiring any movement or adjustment to the position of the seat frame or footrest. The back frame actuator mechanism is secured between the back frame and a stationary position on the lift/recline frame, and has an increased stroke length and is synchronized with a separate lift/recline actuator to maintain the back frame in the same relative position with respect to the seat frame as the chair is moved to and from a reclining position.
