An examination table (or exam table) is used to support patients during medical examinations. During these exams, doctors in offices (UK: surgeries), clinics and hospitals use an adjusting mechanism to manipulate and position the table to allow patient support, closer examination of a portion or the entire patient, and the ability to move the patient on and off the table safely.〔(Physical Examination | Definition and Patient Education )〕 Examination tables often have rolls of paper in which patients sit on, protecting the table. The paper is normally discarded after each patient uses the table. Examination tables have included electric motors since the 1970s. These are fitted underneath the tabletop and power cables generally detach to prevent a tripping hazard. The ability to transfer power forward and backwards using a reversible electric motor means greater mobility of the examination table. ==See also== * Medical facility * Operating table * Ambulatory care 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「examination table」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
