Legality of holding patients

I’m a tech in New York State, and I’m not sure if just misunderstood the law, or if something has changed while I was practicing in Veterinary medicine for 10 years…

My understanding was that technologists in New York were not permitted to hold patients during exposure, but a fellow (much younger) tech argues that this is not the case.

For reference, we’re talking an outpatient orthopedic clinic that often asks that patients be weight bearing for exams. The expectation has been for one of us to hold the patient up while the other exposes.
