ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic treatment apparatus has a frame having a first movable platform having a platform frame movably attached to the frame for a reciprocating motion on a first pivot in a generally vertical motion. The first movable platform is also movably attached to said platform frame for a generally horizontal reciprocating motion on a second pivot. A first drive motor is attached to the frame and coupled to the first movable platform for driving the platform in a reciprocating motion relative to the frame while a second drive motor is attached to the first movable platform frame and coupled to the platform for moving the platform in a generally horizontal reciprocating motion relative to the frame. A second platform is movably attached to the frame and movable relative thereto and is driven by a third drive motor attached to the frame and operatively coupled to the second platform to move the platform relative to the frame in a generally oscillatory controlled pattern so that the orthopedic treatment apparatus moves plural portions of a patient through a plurality of compound motions which are adjustable as to cycle time for each motion which motions occur about pivots projected to regions within the spinal column.
