MOVABLE MASSAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GIVING MASSAGE WITH USE THEREOF Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61H7/00 A61H9/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions involves a movable massaging apparatus and a method for giving massage with the use thereof, refers to medicine, particularly to massage, and can be used for the therapeutic exposure on individual's body. The movable massaging apparatus comprises a massaging device with a displacement actuator kinematically connected to a unit for its discrete fixation to the patient's body and a control system. The displacement actuator is configured in the form of an active triangular unit sides of which are presented in the form of rods ends of which are pivotally connected in apexes of the triangular unit. The rods are provided with linear drives with force, relative displacement and relative speed sensing devices, whereas all the apexes of the triangular unit are configured to connect similar rods through them to form additional active triangular structures. A unit for discrete fixation is configured in the form of a massaging vacuum cup placed in each apex of the triangular unit and hermetically connected by a flexible hose to a mated air distribution canal of an evacuation system provided with a pressure sensor, air distribution and a vacuum pump electrically connected to a control system in the form of a computer with digital-to-analogue converters. Outputs of the control system through data buses of the digital-to-analogue converters are connected to outputs of analogue-to-digital converters of force, relative displacement and relative speed sensing devices and pressure sensors, whereas outputs of the control system through output data buses are connected to inputs of series power amplifiers and linear drives, air distributor valves and vacuum pump respectively.

EFFECT: invention enables automating the procedure of cupping massage, increasing its efficacy and enhancing.
