Abstract:
A hand table assembly for attachment to a patient support deck located on a floor, the patient support deck including an articulatable back section pivotable about an axis disposed transversely to a longitudinal axis of the patient support deck between a generally horizontal position parallel to the floor and a reclining position, the hand table assembly comprising:a generally planar platform having a longitudinal central axis extending generally parallel to a length dimension thereof and an end perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis, anda platform attachment mechanism configured to couple the platform to the patient support deck such that the platform extends generally horizontally from a side of the articulatable back section perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the patient support deck, the attachment mechanism having a first member configured to be mechanically coupled to the end of the platform and a second member configured to be mechanically coupled to a side of the articulatable back section of the patient support deck, the first member being pivoted relative to the second member about the longitudinal central axis of the platform such that the platform remains generally parallel to the floor when the articulatable back section is elevated from the generally horizontal position to the reclining position.
