A patient positioning apparatus for examination and treatment that allows an operator to rotate a patient about three body planes, positioning the semi-circular canals of the patient for proper treatment or diagnosis of conditions caused by abnormalities of the vestibular organs. This apparatus accomplishes three dimensional rotations by rotating about two orthogonal axes of rotation. The efficient and compact design of this apparatus allows the apparatus to be used in clinics or offices too small to accommodate a patient rotation device of the prior art.
