ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic bed includes a castor support framework and a Trendelenburg support frame including curved arms which are mounted on guide rollers of the castor frame. The Trendelenburg support frame carries guide rollers on which rings at opposite ends of the bed run. A patient support platform is mounted on the rings. A patient supine support including a mattress and leg supports are mounted on the patient support platform. Side rails are engagable and lockable to the platform. A patient prone support includes a head support, an adjustable abdomen support and support pad sections which are each split longitudinally to define adjustable support parts which are hingedly mounted to the corresponding opposite side rails, engaged and locked in position. The therapeutic bed provides for prone positioning of a patient by rotation of the rings on the rollers through 180.degree.. The bed may also be used for kinetic therapy and/or Trendelenburg motion when a patient is in the supine and/or prone position.
