Positioning Bars and Hand Grips
CAUTION Make sure your patient does not use the handgrips or positioning bar for support.
CAUTION Be careful of the handgrips that stick out below the wallstand when positioning
wheelchair patients under the wallstand.
Remove or Attach the Lateral Positioning Bar
The digital wallstand is equipped with a lateral positioning bar ( Figure 8-28 ) to aid in patient positioning.
The lateral positioning bar allows for greater patient stability when performing exams in the upright posi-
tion. The lateral positioning bar socket is located on the wallstand arm assembly, behind the receptor
(
Figure 8-28 ).
The bar may be rotated 90° (parallel to the receptor front) to move it out of the way without removing it
from the wallstand.

Use this procedure to remove, insert, rotate, and move the lateral positioning bar.
1. To remove or insert the bar: pull or insert the bar straight from or into the bar socket.
