Abstract
A patient support comprises two arms pivotally connected together and which extend between a base and a support to which a patient support table is coupled. In the preferred form, each arm comprises linkages which define pivot points A to D and A to D forming parallelograms. This ensures the support , and hence the table, has a constant orientation relative to the base. The arms may be controllable independently.
