Claims9
A limb support assembly comprising:
- at least one limb holder support structure configured for coupling to a platform for supporting a subject's limb,
- a locking swivel joint coupled to a proximal end of said limb holder support structure, the locking swivel joint being configured to maintain the limb holder support structure at a desired position relative to the platform;
- and
- a gas piston assembly comprising:
- a distal gas piston mounting element coupled to said limb holder support structure at a point distal relative to the locking swivel joint;
- and
- a proximal gas piston mounting element connected to a limb holder support structure mounting element for coupling to the platform;
- wherein at least one of the distal gas piston mounting element and the proximal gas piston mounting element is configured to be movable between at least two positions such that said distal gas piston mounting element moves relative to said at least one limb holder support structure and said proximal gas piston mounting element rotates relative to said limb holder support structure mounting element while the at least one limb holder support structure is moved through its range of motion.
