ABSTRACT:
An examination table which can be used for handicapped or injured patients can be lowered enough to permit sliding a wheelchair bound patient directly onto the table without having to lift the patient. The head of the table can be raised or lowered, and the patient's head and upper body can be strapped down to the table where appropriate. Side bars keep the patient on the table when there is a danger that the patient may slide or roll off of the table. Two types of stirrups are provided: conventional stirrups can be moved into any direction to accommodate patients whose legs may move or be locked in different directions from the attitude of conventionally attached stirrups. For patients who require additional leg or foot support or who require support distributed over a large area, stirrups fitted with boots can be used to provide this support. The boots are sufficiently long to provide support at least up to the knee, and preferably up part of the thigh. A conveyor belt is provided to move patients from the head of the table down to the foot.
