Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include a radial arm board for use during a cardiac procedure with an upper arm board and a lower arm board. The radial arm board includes one or more motors to control the position of the arm with a control panel. The components of the radial arm board can be moved laterally, raised, and lowered, thus allowing multiple degrees of freedom for the device. The radial arm allows comfort for the patient, accessibility of the arm to the doctor, and eliminates the need for manual manipulation of the radial arm board.
