ABSTRACT:
An adjustable handle arrangement for helping a patient to stand steady for X-ray exposure imaging, includes a track assembly adapted to be mounted on a wall of an X-ray examination room. An assist handle mechanism includes an elongate handle height adjustment member, and a patient assist handle is fastened to the height adjustment member. A carriage mechanism is constructed and arranged to engage the track assembly for relative sliding movement along the direction of the track assembly. The carriage mechanism includes a plate for guiding the height adjustment member for sliding movement along the length of the adjustment member while supporting the adjustment member perpendicular to the track assembly. A clamping mechanism clamps the carriage mechanism together with the height adjustment member at a desired point along the track assembly. Thus, the patient assist handle can be fixed at a desired position in both horizontal and vertical directions with respect to the track assembly by the action of the clamping mechanism.
