ABSTRACT:
Basic elements of the apparatus are a base with patient's seat, and an arched tube fitted behind the seat. The arched tube is connected, via a shaft, to the pedals or electric motor mechanism designed for moving of the arched tube. The arched tube is turned around the shaft beaming point, along helicoidal path contours. On the arched tube there are mounted sliding components fitted with belts or tieing of the upper part of the patient's body, with his/her back rested against the arched tube. The apparatus is fitted also with a mechanism for controlled hand or electric-motor powered extension of the spine of the patient, and with a vibromasseur which is located on the arched tube.
