A removable, easy to use rocker assembly is provided which can be quickly installed on a standard wheelchair without modifications or damage to the same and which includes a pair of shiftable arcuate rockers movable between a retracted and rocking position without the necessity of having the occupant leave the wheelchair, or complicated, time-consuming adjustments of the assembly or chair itself. The overall rocker assembly includes a pair of separate, identical, rocker structures respectively and removably mounted adjacent the wheels of the chair and independently shiftable for selective positioning of the rockers in a chair-supporting, rocking position. The rocker structures each include a frame removably secured to the wheelchair, linkage pivotally coupled between the frame and rocker, and stabilizing means for preventing unintended movement of the rocker in use thereof relative to the chair so as to present an extremely stable rocking wheelchair. Operating mechanism having a shiftable handle is also provided for easy selective movement of the rockers by a person sitting in the chair or by an attendant.
