Hydraulic controls for ambulatory care chair

A chair for supporting a patient includes a base frame including a staging frame and a lower frame. The staging frame is mounted for vertical movement relative to the lower frame. An intermediate frame is coupled to the base frame for pivoting movement relative to the base frame about a generally horizontal transverse axis. An articulated patient support is mounted to the intermediate frame. The patient support includes longitudinally spaced back, seat, and leg sections mounted to the intermediate frame for movement relative to one another and relative to the intermediate fame. The back, seat and leg sections are movable relative to the base tame about the horizontal transverse axis. A hydraulic system includes a first hydraulic cylinder actuating vertical movement of the staging frame relative to the lower frame, a second hydraulic cylinder actuating movement of the leg section relative to the seat section, and a pump actuating both the first and second hydraulic cylinders.
