{{Use American English|date=March 2015}}

The Welner table is a medical examination table designed to facilitate accessibility for both patients and doctors with physical disabilities. It was designed by American obstetrician-gynecologist and disability rights activist Sandra Welner.

Welner's work with disabled women patients led her to invent the Welner table, a universally accessible examination table with a wider than usual range of adjustments in position and height, down to as low as {{convert|20|in}} above floor level for easier transfers from a wheelchair.{{cite news |url=https://www.courant.com/1998/03/03/new-equipment-new-outlook/ |date=1998-03-03 |first=Hilary |last=Waldman |title=New Equipment, New Outlook|newspaper=Hartford Courant}} The table also serves the needs of disabled physicians by allowing a wider range of positions for performing examinations.{{cite news|url=http://old.post-gazette.com/obituaries/20011023welner1023p2.asp |title=Obituary: Dr. Sandra Welner / Obstetrician-gynecologist, champion for disabled women |date=2001-10-23 |first=Anita |last=Srikameswaran |newspaper=Post-Gazette}}
