ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic couch has a rectangular frame of which a padded bench is mounted to accommodate a person in the prone position. Legs at opposite ends of the frame support the padded bench a suitable distance above the floor. Straps are provided at the foot end of the padded bench to secure the ankles of the prone occupant against movement longitudinally of the frame. A lever assembly is fitted to the underside of the frame to fold and unfold hinge-fashion in rolling contact with the floor. The frame also supports a mechanism which is operable by the person on the bench to fold the assembly so that the bench is tilted at an acute angle to the floor and the occupant is held by the ankles in a head-down position.
