An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body, a cable, one end of which is attached to the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body, an ultrasonic probe attached to the other end of the cable, an arm unit including a plurality of arm members which rotate and slide with respect to one another, and a balancer unit. The balancer unit is attached to an end of the arm unit and substantially balances the weight of the ultrasonic probe. The balancer unit comprises a rotational mechanism using a constant force spring for generating a constant winding force smaller than the weight of the ultrasonic probe, irrespective of the length of the a handing unit of the cable, and a wire for providing the winding force.
