Positioning Bars and Hand Grips
CAUTION Make sure your patient does not use the hand grips or positioning bar for support.
CAUTION Be careful of the hand grips that stick out below the wallstand when positioning
wheelchair patients under the wallstand.
Remove or Attach the Lateral Positioning Bar
The manual wallstand is equipped with a lateral positioning bar ( Figure 8-36 ) 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 8-36 ).
The bar may be rotated 120° to move it out of the way without removing it from the wallstand
.

To rotate the lateral positioning bar, Just lift the bar and turn it 120°, then re-insert it in the new direction.
Note: When lift up or down the wallstand housing, lateral bar need to rotate to its park position to avoid
lateral bar hitting on patient or operator body.
