A surgical table having an actuator mechanism that includes first and second actuators, wherein the first actuator has an upper first end connected to a first portion of the movable framework and a lower second end coupled to the column and the second actuator has an upper first end connected to a second portion of the movable framework and a lower second end coupled to the column, the first and second portions being mutually spaced and located on opposite sides of the trend axis, wherein the first and second actuators are each inclined at a respective acute angle in opposite directions from a plane including a longitudinal axis of the column and the trend axis so that the upper first end of each of the first and second actuators is oriented further from the plane than the respective lower second end.

A patient-support apparatus includes a first frame and a second frame movable relative to the first frame. The patient-support apparatus further includes an obstacle detection device and related method for detecting an obstacle between the first frame and the second frame of the patient-support apparatus.

A vibroacoustic therapy bed delivers a sensory experience using integrated vibrational transducers, sounds, lighting effects, and/or other sensory elements. The vibroacoustic therapy bed includes a series of interconnected base elements and a pad. The vibroacoustic therapy bed is configurable between a flat configuration in which the base elements support a user laying on the pad and a stowable configuration in which the base elements pivot with respect to each other utilizing hinge connectors to form a compact structure suitable for stowing. The base elements may furthermore include an isolation element for attenuating transfer of vibrational energy from the vibrational transducers to the ground.

A patient support system comprises a patient support apparatus for patients. The patient support apparatus comprises a base and a litter supported by the base via a lift system. The litter comprises a seat section and a foot section movable relative to the seat section. The lift system comprises lift members. The lift system moves the litter from a first configuration in which the seat and foot sections are generally horizontal relative to a floor surface to a second configuration where the foot section is below the seat section and between the lift members. The patient support apparatus also comprises a mattress assembly integrated with the foot section to move with the foot section between the first and second configurations.
