Abstract:
A quadruped positioning apparatus having a rear leg unit that is detachably and adjustably connected to a front hand unit. The rear leg unit is provided with buttocks, abductor and leg pads that allow the patient to kneel comfortably thereon, with a plurality of straps designed to secure the patient's upper and lower legs to the frame of the rear leg unit. The front hand unit is similarly provided with padding and straps, these designed to cushion and secure the patient's arms and hands when in the quadruped position. The apparatus includes multiple adjustment features to accommodate different patient heights and dimensions, and is further provided with a chest pad located between the rear and front units as a safety measure to absorb the weight of the patient in the event of collapse of the upper extremities due to fatigue.
