Abstract: In order to monitor an individual's posture, a cable is incorporated within a garment that is configured to be worn on an individual's upper body such that at least a portion of the cable spans an upper back region of the garment. A sensor is configured to monitor tension in the cable and to generate an alert when the tension in the cable exceeds a threshold level.

Abstract: A shoulder lift includes a hollow bent shaft that has a first end and a second end and that defines an interior of the bent shaft. First and second openings leading to the interior of the bent shaft are formed at the first and second ends, respectively. The shoulder lift also includes a cable having a first end and a second end. The cable runs through the first opening formed at the first end of the bent shaft and the second opening formed at the second end of the bent shaft such that the cable is threaded through the interior of the bent shaft. The first end of the cable is configured to be coupled to an arm sleeve for holding a patient's arm, and the second end of the cable is configured to be coupled to a support structure that locks into a to fixed position.

Abstract: A leg holder assembly includes a leg support apparatus and a rail attachment mechanism. The leg support apparatus includes a planar support apparatus and a plurality of adjustable arms. The adjustable arms are pivotable. A patient's leg can be received within a space defined between the adjustable arms and rested on the planar support apparatus. The leg support apparatus also includes a support shaft. The rail attachment mechanism includes a body and a plurality of attachment arms. The rail attachment mechanism can be secured to the rail of an operating table by hooking the arms of the rail attachment mechanism over the rail of the operating table. A slot formed within the body of the rail attachment mechanism receives the support shaft and enables the support shaft to be slid into and out of the slot for attachment and detachment of the leg support apparatus to the operating table.
