Abstract
A patient support system comprises a patient support apparatus for patients. The patient support apparatus comprises a base and a litter supported by the base via a lift system. The litter comprises a seat section and a foot section movable relative to the seat section. The lift system comprises lift members. The lift system moves the litter from a first configuration in which the seat and foot sections are generally horizontal relative to a floor surface to a second configuration where the foot section is below the seat section and between the lift members. The patient support apparatus also comprises a mattress assembly integrated with the foot section to move with the foot section between the first and second configurations.
