Electric or hydraulic: A question of comfort
In general, therapy tables are differentiated according to the drive used for adjustment to height, sitting position or body angle. In principle, the differences are quite simple: With a hydraulic drive, the massage table is brought into position by applying pressure to the hydraulic fluid via a lever or a foot lever. The therapist always has to use a certain amount of body strength to reach the correct and suitable position for the treatment couch. This makes hydraulic treatment couches somewhat less comfortable than electrically driven couches, but they are also always ready for use independently of a power source.
The leader in the comfort category is the electrically operated treatment couch. These couches are simply adjusted in height and position at the touch of a button. There are various options to choose from here: Rotary switch, foot switch or hand switch.In addition, the adjustment mechanisms via foot switch or hand switch also enable a comfortable form of electric height adjustment. Here, a "remote control" is connected to the motor of the couch via a cable. Depending on the type of treatment or couch model, this variant may also be preferable to the all-round switch. For example, physiotherapists who perform Bobath therapy usually prefer the electric hand control, as they are often on the couch with the patient and can adjust the height from there.
Maximum flexibility: The 3-part headboard
The 3-part head section promises special comfort for your patients and a significant plus in flexibility for the therapist. The advantage for your patients is that they do not have to place their arms next to their head, which avoids straining the shoulder and neck muscles.
You can upgrade this function with the so-called "twin function". The 3-part head section can also be adjusted in the opposite direction and thus offers, among other things, the possibility of treating pregnant patients in a sitting position without any problems. A three-part head section with twin function can also be used to raise the patient's leg or arms. This feature is available in the SVG online shop exclusively for Nexx treatment couches as an additional option.
