<p>A bed (10) includes a base (12) having a first end and a second end, and a support assembly (22) coupled to the base (12) adjacent the first end. The support assembly (22) includes a rotatable drive mechanism (55). The bed (10) also includes a patient support assembly (26) having a support surface (50) for supporting a patient. The patient support assembly (26) has a proximal end (24) and a distal end (25) spaced apart from the proximal end (24) to define a longitudinal axis (38). The proximal end (24) of the patient support assembly (26) is coupled to the drive mechanism (55) of the support assembly (22) so that the distal end (25) of the patient support assembly (26) is cantilevered from the support assembly (22). The drive mechanism (55) is configured to rotate the cantilevered patient support assembly (26) about its longitudinal axis (38).</p> |
