(57) A universally adjustable wheelchair attachment supports equipment for use by an individual confined to the wheelchair. The attachment includes a pair of columns (17, 33) coupled by a friction joint (36, 38, 40, 42). One of the columns (17) is coupled by a friction joint (20, 22, 24, 26) to a block (12) which is rotationally coupled to a wheelchair member (2). The other of the columns (33) is coupled by a friction joint (50, 52, 54, 56) to an equipment supporting member (60). Each of the columns (17, 33) are adjustable away from and toward each other and include rotationally and telescopically adjustable members (28, 44). The one column (17) is adjustable away from and toward the wheelchair member (2) and the supporting member (60) is rotationally adjustable relative to the other column (33).
