ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the treatment of patients suffering from lumbar back ailments or the like comprises at least one float body suspended from an overhead support, intended for suspending the patient who is partially submersed in water and subjected to loading from weights, preferably at the hip region. The overhead support consists of a suspension means from which, by means of straps, a vest is suspended, adapted to fit closely about the chest region of the patient and thereby supporting the patient. The straps are attached to the overhead support via a yoke or crossbar having a central, vertical journal that is pivotally mounted at the top of the overhead support.
The float body may consist of two elongated, substantially boat-shaped floats, and the overhead support may consist of four downwardly-depending legs attached at the lower ends thereof to the floats and rigidly attached at the upper ends thereof to a top piece which is disposed centrally between the floats and from which the crossbar is supported.
