FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: training apparatus generates mechanical antiphased oscillation of lodgments involving various parts of body and extremities with no essential vertical relocations of a cervicocranial lodgment. Variable loads are generated by vertical reciprocations of separate parts of lodgments. The upper body trunk and lower extremities performs in-phase reciprocations, and the pelvic region - antiphased. A cervicocranial support bears natural head motions in mentioned motions of the upper body. The passive mechanoterapy training apparatus contains a base, a body and lower extremity lodgment connected with a reciprocation drive and a cervicocranial support. The cervicocranial support is mounted on the base and separated from the lodgment, and the lodgment is designed to generate vertical antiphase motions of its middle part with respect to its peripheral parts.
EFFECT: rhythmic stimulation of neurotrophic reflexes, muscle stretch in various spinal parts, extremity joints and major muscles simultaneously.
