Abstract
A new turning bed, called the Egerton-Stoke Mandeville Turning Bed has been devised. There are two versions of this bed—one which allows turning only from the supine to the lateral positions, and one which allows both turning as well as head-up and head-down tilting. The beds have proved successful for the management of traumatic paraplegics and tetraplegics. They can also be usefully employed in the management of other severe disabilities.
