CORRECTOR-VERTEBROMANIPULATOR Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: medical facilities; applicable in dosed traction of vertebral column by patient's gravitation force with its simultaneous correction by dosed bending to sides. SUBSTANCE: device base is made in form of posts-guides forming rigidly triangles, located on which, are back, axillary rests and feet rests in form of rod. Angles between posts-guides are changeable by hinges connecting them. Axillary rests are made in form of truncated semicones with their vertexes directed down and with their internal surfaces, towards each other and movable arranged on strip with regulated angle of inclination to horizontal due to rotation in central sagittal axle accommodating hinge connecting it with back. Patient is fixed on axillary rests located on back at required angle to vertical line. Rests are positioned by changing angles between posts-guides. Patient's trunk with vertebral column is bent through required angle to side due to turning of strip with axillary rests by hinge which connects it with back. EFFECT: regulated traction of vertebral column by patient's gravitation force simultaneously with its correction by dosing bending to sides and setting of angle between femurs and pelvis at high rigidly and reliability. 2 dwg
