Abstract
A surgical table including a control system for facilitating manipulation of the table top when a patient is a normal and a reversed position. The table includes moveable table top sections whereby the table may be reconfigured from a normal configuration for receiving a patient with the patient's head at a head end of the table to a reversed configuration with the patient's head located at the foot end of the table. The controller is adapted to sense the configuration of the table and automatically reverse selectable functions for movement of the table when the table is in the reverse configuration.
