MECHANURGIC TABLE FOR MASSAGE AND MANUAL THERAPY Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61H1/02 A61G7/15 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to medical tables for performing sessions of manual therapy, massages of any parts of the body, as well as unloading and extension of the spine due to own patient's weight. Mechanurgic table for massage and manual therapy contains base, couch, device for connecting base with couch, means of fastening patient to couch, mechanism for vertical lifting of couch with base and mechanism for changing angular position of couch with respect to horizontal axis. Table is equipped with mechanism for couch rotation around vertical axis and device for cyclic compressing and relieving action on patient's body. Device for connecting couch with base consists of poles vertically fixed on base, and carriage, connected pivotally with couch and moving vertically on poles together with couch. On couch installed is bed for head, connected with couch by means of guiding device which ensures longitudinal fixed movement of bed for head, mechanism of vertical movement of bed for head being installed on guide device. Means of fastening patient to couch consists of unit for arm fixation and unit for leg fixation. Unit for arm fixation contains two guide consoles, which are pivotally fixed with one end on lower side of couch with possibility of longitudinal and lateral fixed movement relative to couch, on the other side of each of guide consoles rigidly fixed is bracket on which element for arm fixation is fastened. Unit for leg fixation contains two guide consoles, which are pivotally fixed with one end on lower side of couch with possibility of longitudinal and lateral fixed movement relative to couch, on the other side of each of guide consoles rigidly fixed is bracket on which element for leg fixation is fastened. Mechanism for vertical lifting of couch is made in form of connection "screw-nut", transmission element "screw" being fixed on base with possibility of rotation from electromechanical drive, transmission element "nut" being rigidly fixed on carriage. Mechanism for changing angular position of couch with respect to horizontal axis contains toothed sector rigidly fixed on lower side of couch and meshed with toothed gear fixed on carriage with possibility of rotation from electromechanical drive. Mechanism for rotation of couch around vertical axis is made in form of support bearing one of whose races is rigidly fixed on lower side of bed, the other race is pivotally connected with carriage, toothed on bearing race, installed on lower side of bed, installed is toothed wheel meshed with toothed gear located on shaft of electromechanical drive. All electromechanical drives are connected with autonomous system of programmed control of drives.

EFFECT: extension of functional possibilities due to performing on it complex of massage and manual impact on articular joints of bone skeleton including spine (cervical, thoracic and lumbar), chest, upper and lower extremities, as well as organs of patient.
