ABSTRACT:
A patient treatment table includes a table frame, a hip board fixedly secured to said frame and a head board fixedly secured to said frame and spaced from said hip board. A transparent flexible arch member, of such thickness that it can maintain an adjustable height position under the patient's weight without requiring edge reinforcement, is pivotally mounted to said frame adjacent to and below the top surface of said head board and a slide member extending across the table beneath the edge of said hip board provides a pivotal support for the other end of said arch member. Said slide member may be adjusted relative to said hip board by means of an enclosed, motor driven lead screw actuator to bow said arch member upwardly from a minimum height position in which the top surface of the arch member is substantially the same as the upper surfaces of said head and hip boards. Suitable indicia are provided on the slide and table frame, calibrated in terms of the actual height of the top surface of the transparent arch, so that continuity of treatment and repeatablity of adjustment of the height of the arch can be achieved. The actuator is controllable by switch means located adjacent said arch member on either side of the table.
