摘要

A trapeze (12) apparatus for use with a patient-support device (10) such as a hospital bed, for example, includes a pivotable coupler (14) formed to define a pivot axis (82) and an arm (16) pivotable about the pivot axis (82). A patient interface unit (18, 48, 58) of the trapeze apparatus (12) includes a trapeze handle (59) coupled to the arm (16) and patient operated controls (52, 62) coupled to the trapeze handle (54).
