ELECTROMECHANICAL VERTEBRAL TRAINING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has fixed casing, bed connected to it through carriage member, driving unit and control unit. The carriage is mounted to enable one to do reciprocating harmonic or straight line or complex movements mainly in the perpendicular direction with respect to the vertebral column. The bed has recesses of anatomical shape for placing lower extremities into them. The control unit is remote control panel having keyboard for controlling procedure duration, bed height relative to the casing, carriage motion speed, amplitude and trajectory. The control unit is manufactured on the microprocessor base connected to commutation circuit through an input/output group. The commutation circuit is mounted in the device casing and connected to electromechanical driving unit having electric motor. The device also has electromagnetic unions of transmission mechanisms, electromagnetic union for changing bed height and power supply source. EFFECT: maintained vertebral column wave movement. 4 cl, 5 dwg
