The invention claimed is: 1. A support apparatus for use with a birthing bed, the apparatus comprising a telescoping arm, a flexible leg support having a first end coupled to a first end of the telescoping arm and a second end coupled to a second end of the telescoping arm, the flexible leg support
The invention claimed is: 1. A support apparatus for use with a birthing bed, the apparatus comprising a telescoping arm, a flexible leg support having a first end coupled to a first end of the telescoping arm and a second end coupled to a second end of the telescoping arm, the flexible leg support providing lateral support for a patient's leg, and a footrest coupled to the second end of the telescoping arm and the flexible leg support, wherein the flexible leg support includes a flexion rod, a chain adjacent the flexion rod, and a foam outer covering. 2. The support apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flexible leg support defines an arc between the first and second ends of the telescoping arm to define an angle of curvature that changes as a length of the telescoping arm changes. 3. A support apparatus for use with a birthing bed, the apparatus comprising a telescoping arm, a flexible leg support having a first end coupled to a first end of the telescoping arm and a second end coupled to a second end of the telescoping arm, the flexible leg support providing lateral support for a patient's leg, a footrest coupled to the second end of the telescoping arm and the flexible leg support, and a ball-and-socket coupler configured to be coupled to a hip area of the birthing bed and coupled to the telescoping arm and flexible leg support. 4. A support apparatus for use with a birthing bed, the apparatus comprising a telescoping arm, a flexible leg support having a first end coupled to a first end of the telescoping arm and a second end coupled to a second end of the telescoping arm, the flexible leg support providing lateral support for a patient's leg, a footrest coupled to the second end of the telescoping arm and the flexible leg support, and a two-axis pivot bracket coupled to the birthing bed, the first end of the flexible leg support and the first end of the telescoping arm, wherein the flexible leg support and the telescoping arm are pivotable about a first axis parallel to a length of the birthing bed and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. 5. The support apparatus of claim 4, wherein the telescoping arm and flexible leg support are pivotable relative to the birthing bed about the first axis between a first, use position, above a deck of the birthing bed and a second, stowed position, beneath the deck of the birthing bed. 6. The support apparatus of claim 4, further comprising a release handle coupled to the second end of the flexible leg support and the telescoping arm, and a cable coupled to the release handle such that movement of the release handle and cable with the release handle releases the two-axis pivot bracket to permit the support apparatus to be adjusted. 7. The support apparatus of claim 6, wherein the flexible leg support includes a passageway between the first end of the flexible leg support and the second end of the flexible leg support and the cable is received within the passageway of the flexible leg support. 8. The support apparatus of claim 4, wherein the telescoping arm and flexible leg support are pivotable about the second axis to position the telescoping arm in a generally vertical position perpendicular to a patient support surface of the birthing bed. 9. An apparatus for limiting abduction of a patient's leg relative to a patient-support device, the apparatus comprising an extendable and retractable arm coupleable to the patient support device, a flexible member coupled to the arm and defining an arc to serve as an abduction barrier, wherein an angle of curvature of the arc changes as the extendable and retractable arm extends and retracts, and a ball-and-socket coupler configured to be coupled to a hip area of the birthing bed and coupled to the extendable and retractable arm. 10. A stirrup apparatus for use on a birthing bed, the stirrup apparatus comprising a telescoping arm having a first end configured to be coupled to the bed and a second end, the telescoping arm being adjustable in length between a fully retracted position and a fully extended position, an abduction barrier coupled at a first end to the first end of the telescoping arm and at a second end to the second end of the telescoping arm, the abduction barrier including a flexion rod and a chain adjacent the flexion rod, and a footrest coupled to the second end of the telescoping arm. 11. The stirrup apparatus of claim 10, wherein the telescoping arm is a fluid cylinder. 12. The stirrup apparatus of claim 11, wherein the fluid cylinder is pneumatic. 13. The stirrup apparatus of claim 11, wherein the fluid cylinder is hydraulic. 14. The stirrup apparatus of claim 10, wherein the telescoping arm is a linear actuator. 15. The stirrup apparatus of claim 10, wherein the abduction barrier is flexible and is curved to form an arc between the first end and the second end such that curvature of the abduction barrier changes as a distance between the footrest and the first end of the arm changes. 16. A stirrup apparatus for use on a birthing bed, the stirrup apparatus comprising a telescoping arm having a first end configured to be coupled to the bed and a second end, the telescoping arm being adjustable in length between a fully retracted position and a fully extended position, an abduction barrier coupled at a first end to the first end of the telescoping arm and at a second end to the second end of the telescoping arm, a footrest coupled to the second end of the telescoping arm, and a two-axis pivot bracket coupled to the first end of the telescoping arm to define a first axis and a second axis about which the arm pivots. 17. The stirrup apparatus of claim 16, wherein the two-axis pivot bracket is lockable in a plurality of positions. 18. The stirrup apparatus of claim 17, further comprising a user input biased to maintain the stirrup apparatus locked in a first position and releasable to permit the stirrup apparatus to be adjusted to a second position. 19. An apparatus for limiting abduction of a patient's leg relative to a patient-support device, the apparatus comprising an extendable and retractable arm coupleable to the patient support device, and a flexible member coupled to the arm and defining an arc to serve as an abduction barrier, wherein the flexible member includes a flexion rod and a chain adjacent the flexion rod, and wherein an angle of curvature of the arc changes as the extendable and retractable arm extends and retracts. 20. The apparatus of claim 19, further comprising a two-axis pivot bracket coupled to the patient-support device, the flexible member, and the extendable and retractable arm, wherein the extendable and retractable arm and flexible member are pivotable about a first axis parallel to a length of the patient-support device and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. 21. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the extendable and retractable arm and flexible member are pivotable relative to the patient-support device about the first axis between a first, use position, above a deck of the patient-support device and a second, stowed position, beneath the deck of the patient-support device. 22. The apparatus of claim 20, further comprising a release handle coupled to the extendable and retractable arm and flexible member at an end opposite the two-axis pivot bracket, and a cable coupled to the release handle such that movement of the release handle and cable with the release handle releases the two-axis pivot bracket to permit the apparatus to be adjusted. 23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the flexible member further includes a passageway and the cable is received within the passageway of the flexible member. 24. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the extendable and retractable arm and flexible member are pivotable about the second axis to position the extendable and retractable arm in a generally vertical position perpendicular to a patient support surface of the patient-support device.
