Adjustable Face Cushions
The two face cushions may be adjusted away from or toward the center of the
table. Adjusting the cushions improves support for a variety of patients.
Directly below the front and sides of each head cushion are round knobs. Loosen
these knobs to allow cushion placement and re-tighten them to secure in the new
position.
Abdominal Release
The table is equipped with an individual section for supporting the patient’s lumbar
and lower thoracic spine. This section is referred to as the abdominal section (see
figure 11). It has two operating positions; locked (up) and lowered (floating). It may
be lowered to allow normal lordosis and provides a more comfortable treatment for
larger and pregnant patients.
When the table is used for CPM flexion distraction, in most cases the abdominal
section should be in the lowered position. To lower the abdominal section, support
the abdominal cushion with one hand and lift the abdominal release lever (see
figure 12). Gently lower the cushion
.
Important
: without properly supporting the cushion (patient), patient discomfort
could result.
Adjustable Ankle Support
At the foot of the table is an adjustable ankle cushion that may be extended up to
10 inches to accommodate different patient heights (see figure 13). Straps are
provided for securing the patient’s legs and increasing distraction force if so
desired. Patients may increase the amount of distraction force applied to their
spine by pulling against this cushion with their toes.
Under the rear edge of the ankle cushion is a round, foam covered bar. Behind it
is a chrome lever. While standing at the foot of the table, squeeze the lever to
disengage the lock. Then, place the cushion anywhere in the available range and
release the lever to re-engage the lock.
