Stall Bars (Exercise Furniture) - Img 1

Key Features

Built to the spec
clinicians trust.

01

Ergonomic Height Adjustment

Electric and hydraulic hi-lo ranges bring the patient to working height for the therapist and to a safe transfer height for the patient — reducing clinician back strain and improving dependent-transfer safety.

02

Clinic-Grade Upholstery

High-density foam tops with healthcare-grade vinyl or antimicrobial coverings resist stains and survive disinfectant turnovers between patients.

03

Configurable Platforms

Flat tops, sectional tops with adjustable backrests, and specialty platforms (traction, tilt, inversion) match the clinical task. Width options accommodate bariatric and two-therapist work.

04

Weight-Capacity Rated

Standard clinic tables are rated 400–500 lb; bariatric and high-capacity models support 650–1000+ lb. Always match the rated SWL to the patient with a safety margin.

Clinical Use / Treatment Tables & Mat Platforms

How clinicians
use this product.

Clinical treatment tables, mat platforms, and therapy benches provide the working surface for physical therapy, examination, and rehab. Selection is driven by patient population (bariatric, pediatric, neuro), clinical task (mat work, exam, traction), and height-adjustment method (electric, hydraulic, manual).

Indications

Clinical use cases.

  • Physical and occupational therapy treatment (mat work, manual therapy, ROM, strengthening)
  • Examination and evaluation in clinic and inpatient settings
  • Bariatric patient assessment and mobilization
  • Cervical and lumbar traction therapy
  • Tilt-table testing (orthostatic intolerance, early mobilization)
  • Hydrotherapy and whirlpool-adjacent treatment

Application Technique

Step by step.

01

/ 05

Confirm weight rating.

Check the labeled safe working load against the patient's weight plus a clinical safety margin. Bariatric patients require bariatric-rated tables.

02

/ 05

Set working height.

Adjust table height so the therapist's wrists are neutral while applying force. Hi-lo ranges typically drop to 18–23 in for transfers and raise to 32–36 in for standing manual therapy.

03

/ 05

Position and pad the patient.

Use bolsters, wedges, and cushions to support positioning (prone, side-lying, semi-recumbent). Offload bony prominences during extended treatment.

04

/ 05

Lock casters and rails.

Engage caster locks before patient contact. Raise side rails where available for transfers or seizure-precaution patients.

05

/ 05

Clean between patients.

Wipe the top and touch points with a facility-approved healthcare disinfectant. Allow contact time per the disinfectant label before the next patient.

Contraindications & Cautions

When not to use.

  • Do not exceed the labeled weight capacity — mechanical failure and patient injury risk
  • Do not use tables with compromised actuators, crank mechanisms, or structural frames
  • Caster locks must be engaged before any transfer — rolling tables are a fall hazard
  • Tilt and inversion tables require patient screening (cardiac, glaucoma, recent surgery) before use

FAQ / Treatment Tables & Mat Platforms

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.

Electric, hydraulic, or manual crank — which should I pick?

Electric hi-lo is fastest and easiest, ideal for high-volume clinics and dependent-transfer environments but requires a wall outlet and service plan. Hydraulic (foot-pump) is reliable with no power requirement — common in PT. Manual crank is the most economical and dependable but slower — appropriate for low-frequency adjustment.

What size platform do I need?

Standard PT plinths are 27 in × 76 in. Mat tables are larger (60 in × 84 in is common) to accommodate two-therapist work, supine mat work, and bariatric patients. Bariatric plinths are 32–42 in wide. Confirm room footprint and door-clearance before ordering.

Are these bariatric-capable?

Weight capacity varies. Standard clinic tables support 400–500 lb; bariatric variants support 650–1000+ lb with wider platforms and reinforced frames. Always verify the SWL label and match to the patient with a safety margin.

How do I disinfect the upholstery between patients?

Use a facility-approved healthcare disinfectant (quaternary ammonium, hydrogen peroxide, or bleach wipe compatible with vinyl). Wipe touch points, headrest, and any areas of direct skin contact. Allow contact time per label before next use. Replace covers when visibly worn.

What's included — do I need to order accessories separately?

Base table ships with standard upholstered top, frame, and casters. Optional items (paper dispensers, face cradles, straps, backrests, grab rails, shelves, drawers) are usually separate line items. Confirm with the configuration sheet at order.
