A bed () includes a base () and a frame assembly (). A head end support assembly () and a foot end support assembly () are coupled between the base () and the frame assembly (). The frame assembly () includes first and second side frame members () located above the base (). The bed () also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms () coupled to the first and second side frame members (), and a patient support surface () configured to be coupled to the first and second side frame members () by the plurality of latch mechanisms (). A rotational drive mechanism () is coupled to the foot end support assembly () to rotate the frame assembly () about its longitudinal axis to a prone position. A proning surface () is coupled to the frame assembly () to support a patient in the prone position.

Proning bed

A patient support includes a base, and a support assembly coupled to the base. A patient support surface is coupled to the support assembly. A plurality of siderails are coupled to the support assembly. Each siderail includes a frame member and a movable member coupled to the frame member, wherein the movable member is movable to a position directly above the patient support surface.

Hospital bed

A bed ( ) includes a base ( ) and a frame assembly ( ). A head end support assembly ( ) and a foot end support assembly ( ) are coupled between the base ( ) and the frame assembly ( ). The frame assembly ( ) includes first and second side frame members ( ) located above the base ( ). The bed ( ) also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms ( ) coupled to the first and second side frame members ( ), and a patient support surface ( ) configured to be coupled to the first and second side frame members ( ) by the plurality of latch mechanisms ( ). A rotational drive mechanism ( ) is coupled to the foot end support assembly ( ) to rotate the frame assembly ( ) about its longitudinal axis to a prone position. A proning surface ( ) is coupled to the frame assembly ( ) to support a patient in the prone position.

A patient support apparatus including a first patient support configured to be rotated about a longitudinal axis. The first patient support illustratively includes an inflatable bladder. A backboard may be removably coupled to the patient support apparatus and is configured to facilitate transport of a patient to and from the patient support apparatus.

A bed ( ) includes a base ( ), and a support assembly ( ) coupled to the base ( ). The support assembly includes first and second support arms ( ) located above the base ( ). The bed ( ) also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms ( ) coupled to the first and second support arms ( ), and a patient support surface ( ) configured to be coupled to the first and second support arms ( ) by the plurality of latch mechanisms ( ). The patient support surface ( ) is removable from the first and second support arms ( ) to permit transfer of a patient to and from the bed ( ) on the patient support surface ( ).

A patient support apparatus comprises a base, and a patient support assembly coupled to the base for pivotable movement about a pivot axis generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the patient support assembly. A pivot mechanism is coupled to the patient support assembly to rotate the patient support assembly about the pivot axis. A controller is coupled to the pivot mechanism to control rotation of the patient support assembly about the pivot axis at a selected rate of rotation and to a selected angle of rotation to provide rotational therapy to the patient.

A desk chair has a sitting component, a headrest component adjoined to the sitting component and rotational relative to the sitting component, and a left armrest component and a right armrest component both adjoined to the sitting component and rotational relative to the sitting component. The sitting component seats a user of the desk chair and includes a reclining mechanism to enable a user to perform stretching and strengthening exercises for the abdomen of the user. The headrest component supports the head of a user of the desk chair and enables the user to perform stretching and strengthening exercises for the neck of the user. The left armrest component and the right armrest component support the arms of the user of the desk chair and enable the user to perform stretching and strengthening exercises for the chest, back, shoulders, arms and/or abdomen of the user. The user can also utilize the reclining mechanism to increase or decrease the range of motion of an exercise for the user.

A bed (,) includes a base (,) having a first end and a second end, and a support assembly (,) coupled to of the base (,) adjacent the first end. The support assembly (,) includes a rotatable drive mechanism (,). The bed (,) also includes a patient support assembly (,) having a support surface (,) for supporting a patient. The patient support assembly (,) has a proximal end (,) and a distal end (,) spaced apart from the proximal end (,) to define a longitudinal axis (,). The proximal end (,) of the patient support assembly (,) is coupled to the drive mechanism (,) of the support assembly (,) so that the distal end (,) of the patient support assembly (,) is cantilevered from the support assembly (,). The drive mechanism (,) is configured to rotate the cantilevered patient support assembly (,) about its longitudinal axis (,).
