DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING SHOULDER GIRDLE AND UPPER EXTREMITY MUSCLE UNBALANCE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has base with vertical uprights bearing working member and loading member. The working member is a disk having through hole on its end face surface. The disk is movably attached to the vertical uprights by means of axles allowing to fix it at an arbitrary angle. The axles are attached to the opposite sides of disk surface and built in into the holes in the vertical uprights allowing distance between the axles and base plane to be adjusted. Elements tracing loading member trajectory are arranged on the disk surface. The loading member is shaped as gloves each bearing a load. The disk is composed of two sectors movable relative to each other and fixable in required position. The working surface of the disk is optionally curved. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; synchronization of muscle work under arbitrary motor stereotypes. 5 dwg
