PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUSES WITH EXERCISE FUNCTIONALITIES
First Claim
1. A patient support apparatus with closed chain exercise functionalities, the patient support apparatus comprising:
- a base frame;
a support deck supported on the base frame, the support deck comprising a seat portion;
a segmented patient support surface comprising a torso support segment and an upper leg support segment, wherein the torso support segment is pivotable with respect to the upper leg support segment and at least the torso support segment and the upper leg support segment are slidably coupled to the support deck such that the torso support segment and the upper leg support segment are freely slidable with respect to the support deck;
a lift system coupled to the support deck and the segmented patient support surface, the lift system raising, lowering and tilting the support deck with respect to the base frame, and pivoting the torso support segment with respect to the upper leg support segment; and
a foot plate assembly removably positioned proximate a free end of the support deck, the foot plate assembly receiving a patient'"'"'s feet when a patient is positioned on the segmented patient support surface thereby enabling the patient to slide the segmented patient support surface relative to the support deck to perform a closed chain exercise.

Abstract
A patient support apparatus generally includes a base frame and a support deck supported on the base frame, the support deck comprising a seat portion. A segmented patient support surface is slidably coupled to the support deck. A lift system is coupled to the support deck and the segmented patient support surface. The lift system raises, lowers and tilts the support deck with respect to the base frame, and pivots a torso support segment of the support surface with respect to a leg support segment of the support surface. A foot plate assembly is removably positioned proximate a free end of the support deck, the foot plate assembly receiving a patient'"'"'s feet when a patient is positioned on the segmented patient support surface thereby enabling the patient to slide the segmented patient support surface relative to the support deck.
