Frame to hold you in the tuck position Explanation: After some surgery esp tummy surgery and spinal surgery, you are required to be held in the tuck position while your stitches heal, The tuck position is just forward of a sitting position but not in a fetal position. I see most refer to it as the "PRONE POSITION" and they call it "The Relton-Hall frame" Here are a couple of links.. http://www.springerlink.com/content/k30vkrf8dnxxhd2q/ http://cme.medscape.com/viewarticle/513696_print -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2009-06-18 10:04:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Knee - chest frame is in the fetal position.. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day23 hrs (2009-06-19 07:37:55 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank You |
