EXTENSION BED DEVICE FOR DECOMPRESSION OF THE SPINAL COLUMN AND/OR FOR DECOMPRESSION OF JOINTS

摘要

The invention relates to an extension bed device (1, 2, 36) for decompression of the spinal column (30) and/or for decompression of articulation joints of a patient (3), having a bed region (4) and having a drive system (5), wherein the bed region (4) has a plurality of segments (6), wherein the patient (3) can be arranged on the bed region (4), wherein at least one of the segments (6) can be moved by means of the drive system (5) in such a way that for decompression traction and counter-traction can be exerted on the patient (3). The effectiveness of the decompression is improved, the range of options is extended and the application of the method is more pleasant and more effective for the patient because the segments (6) have a plurality of rising support elements (7), wherein the patient (3) can be supported at least partially by the support elements (7), wherein the support elements (7) can be disposed at different heights in such a way that the arrangement of the support elements (7) can be adapted to the contour of the patient (3) in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, such that the patient (3) is held in an imprint formed by means of the support elements (7).
