AN APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING AN ANATOMICAL POSITIONER ON A PATIENT CARE PLATFORM INCLUDES A CLAMPING MECHANISM FOR ALLOWING AN OPERATOR TO QUICKLY AND SECURELY JOIN THE APPARATUS TO THE PATIENT CARE PLATFORM. GUIDE RAILS (117) ARE JOINED TO THE CLAMPING MECHANISM. THE GUIDE RAILS (117) EXTEND AWAY FROM THE PATIENT CARE PLATFORM. SLIDES (119) SLIDABLY JOIN TO THE GUIDE RAILS (117) TO ALLOW THE OPERATOR TO POSITION THE ANATOMICAL POSITIONER TO IMPART A FORCE ON A PATIENT ON THE PATIENT CARE PLATFORM. THE SLIDES (119) INCLUDE BRAKES FOR AT LEAST STOPPING MOVEMENT IN A DIRECTION AWAY FROM THE PATIENT CARE PLATFORM, AND BRAKE RELEASES FOR RELEASING THE BRAKES. SUPPORTS (118) JOIN TO THE SLIDES (119) FOR SUPPORTING THE ANATOMICAL POSITIONER. THE SUPPORTS (118) HAVE RESTRAINTS (123) FOR ALLOWING THE OPERATOR TO QUICKLY SECURE AND ADJUST THE ANATOMICAL POSITIONER, WHEREBY THE ANATOMICAL POSITIONER IS POSITIONED BY THE OPERATOR TO IMPART THE FORCE ON THE PATIENT AND LOCKED IN PLACE.
