The medical stand is used to support a medical tool and includes a first parallel linkage (P1) to maintain weight balance of the medical tool. The torque transmitting mechanism maintains an attitude of the medical tool and includes a second parallel linkage (P2) whose one end is fixed to a body of the medical stand, a connecting element, and a third parallel linkage (P3) connected through the connecting element to the second parallel linkage. Links that form the second parallel linkage (P2) are made of rigid material. A vibration suppressing mechanism (50) is attached to a longitudinal link of the first parallel linkage and is always resiliently in contact with a longitudinal link of the second parallel linkage.
