A head frame is configured for the head of a medical patient (108) and includes support for a probe and a neck support. The frame wraps around said head, and can be used in the supine position. The support may include a probe holder (116) slidable under the head and to contact or engage the neck support. In some embodiments, conformal shaping to the head and/or neck, the frame's rigid construction, the alignment of the optionally separable holder to the neck support (110), and weight of the head all serve to keep the distal tip of the ultrasound probe in place against the temporal region of the head, without need for attaching the frame to the head as by straps, providing an arrangement robust against patient/vehicle movement in an emergency medical services setting. Head immobilizing walls may be folded away (316) in some versions, retaining probe alignment. In the holder, an optional circular opening with a spherical cross-section allows the probe(s) to be rotated into position, and X-Y-Z positioning too may be provided, all manually or by motor.

The herein described Adaptive Ergonomic Positioning device (“AEPD”) relates generally to the field of surgery and other medical or healthcare procedures. The AEPD can be adapted for use with most standard surgical tables and surgical chairs where the patient must be positioned prone during a particular procedure. The AEPD may also be used for certain procedures where the patient may be positioned supine. The AEPD support assemblies are highly adjustable and deliver improved ergonomics for both patients and providers. Patients of different morphology can be comfortably positioned in prone with their head and neck in a neutral position, and shoulders in a forward flexed, slightly internally rotated position. The AEPD can be adjusted to accommodate patients with neck and shoulder mobility restrictions, without any effect on provider accessibility to the surgical or treatment site.
