Tilt Table | Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Suppliers
Humans aren’t designed to spend months lying down or sitting in wheelchairs.
Legs accustomed to walking become weak as muscles and bones lay in limbo. Organs equally accustomed to operating in an upwardly mobile human body become virtual pancakes of horizontal disorientation and dysfunction. They too become difficult to return to an upright position without due care and attention.
Tilt tables are a simple, yet ingenious device allowing doctors and medical specialists to gradually return patients to the perpendicular as their bodies readjust.
While strapped securely to a tilt table in the horizontal position, the patient can be slowly tilted vertically.
That’s why anyone reaching the end of a long injury or illness has to be eased out of a bed or wheelchair before they are back on their feet. Tilt tables allow gradual, incremental increases directly proportional to a patient’s physical and mental requirements.
Tilt tables can also be used for what’s called a Tilt Table Test to assess patients suffering from recurring faints.

- Diagnosing syncope: Tilt table testing can help diagnose the cause of fainting or syncope by monitoring changes in blood pressure and heart rate while the patient is tilted at different angles.
- Evaluating autonomic nervous system disorders: Tilt table testing can also help diagnose autonomic nervous system disorders such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) by measuring changes in heart rate and blood pressure.
- Treating orthostatic hypotension: Tilt table therapy can be used to treat orthostatic hypotension, a condition in which blood pressure drops when standing up. By gradually increasing the angle of tilt, the body can adapt to the change in position and improve blood flow.
- Improving circulation: Tilt table therapy can also improve circulation in patients with spinal cord injuries or other conditions that limit mobility.
- Some of the safety features of a tilt table include:
- Safety straps: The patient is secured to the table using safety straps to prevent them from falling or slipping off the table during the tilting process.
- Emergency stop button: The tilt table is equipped with an emergency stop button that can be used to immediately stop the tilting process in case of an emergency.
- Gradual tilting: The tilt table tilts slowly and gradually, which allows the patient to adjust to the changes in position and reduces the risk of injury.
- Adjustable speed: The speed of the tilting process can be adjusted to suit the needs of the patient and the condition being treated.
- Monitoring equipment: The tilt table is equipped with monitoring equipment such as blood pressure monitors, ECG machines, and pulse oximeters to monitor the patient's vital signs during the tilting process.
