A medical chair is provided for conducting and controlling in-depth medical exams from a remote location. Specifically, the medical chair allows for providing remote diagnoses and treatment, including a variety of testing procedures for patients with nonemergent but time sensitive illness or injury. The medical chair can be used in a semi-permanent, permanent, temporary, or mobile environment and includes stabilizing assemblies to adapt to any of these environments.

The disclosed invention is a multi-motion chair with motorized movement that provides continuous therapeutic movement. The therapeutic chair utilizes multiple pivoting points for the back, seat, legs, and arms. Pivoting motors and linear actuators are installed at rotatable points of the chair and provide multiple ways of activating therapeutic motion. The therapeutic motion is directed by a programmable controller which can move the chair in a continuous motion automatically without additional input from the user and therefore helps to reduce joint and muscle stress or pain while seated for long periods of time.

A patient support apparatus includes a frame, a stationary member mounted relative to the frame, a movable member having a pivot member rotatably mounting the movable member about the stationary member, and a fastener securing the pivot member to the stationary member. The patient support apparatus also includes a joint between the pivot member and the stationary member, which is configured to apply a tension force on the fastener.

In one embodiment, there is provided a system for applying therapy to a human body. The system includes a coupling apparatus and a supporting apparatus. The coupling apparatus is configured to couple to an upper body portion of a user. The supporting apparatus is configured to support at least a portion of a weight of the user. An amount of weight that is supported is adjustable. In some embodiments, the system may further include a control apparatus configured to control at least one of a state and/or a position of the supporting apparatus.

A surgical patient interface including a base; a platform coupled to the base and including a first end and a second end, the platform configured to transition between a first position and a second position about a pivotable axis stationary relative to the base; a first abutment and a second abutment each adjustably coupled to the platform. In the first position, the platform extends between the first end and the second end in a substantially horizontal direction relative to the base, and the first abutment and the second abutment are separated by a first distance along the substantially horizontal direction. In the second position, the platform extends between the first end and the second end in a substantially vertical direction such that a torso of a patient extends in the substantially vertical direction, and the first abutment and the second abutment are separated by a second, different distance along the substantially vertical direction.
