The apparatus of claim 33, wherein the spring clutch includes a housing, a coil gripping spring received inside the housing and a connecting rod, wherein the spring clutch is releasable so that the gripping spring loosens its grip on the connecting rod allowing the connecting rod to slide relative to the clutch housing and the gripping spring to decouple the back section from the linkage so that the back section can be raised and lowered without also raising and lowering the thigh section, and wherein the spring clutch is lockable so that the gripping spring constricts around the connecting rod preventing the connecting rod from sliding relative to the clutch housing and the gripping spring to couple the back section to the linkage so that the thigh section is initially raised and then lowered as the back section is raised. 35. The apparatus of claim 34, wherein the spring clutch includes a trigger plate which is a movable between a first releasing position where the spring clutch is released and a second locking position where the spring clutch is locked, and wherein the handle is coupled to the trigger plate to move the trigger plate between the first releasing position and the second locking position. 36. The apparatus of claim 35, wherein the thigh section drive enabling/disabling mechanism includes including a release rod, a spring biasing the release r
