| | English translation:Frame to hold you in the tuck position | Explanation:
After some surgery esp tummy surgery and spinal surgery, you are required to be held in the tuck position while your stitches heal, The tuck position is just forward of a sitting position but not in a fetal position. I see most refer to it as the "PRONE POSITION" and they call it "The Relton-Hall frame"
Here are a couple of links..
