APPARATUS FOR STRENGTHENING THE MUSCLE AND / OR REEDUCING THE ARTICULATION OF THE SHOULDER AND THE SUPERIOR MEMBER IN THE CLOSED KINETIC CHAIN

摘要

Apparatus (1) for muscle strengthening and / or rehabilitation of the shoulder joint and the upper limb in closed kinetic chain. It comprises: - means (2) for positioning the user or patient, - a work set (3) comprising resistive means (30) associated with a gripping means (31) intended to be grasped by the user or patient to enable it to exert efforts in compression or traction, - support means (4) which connect the working assembly (3) to the positioning means (2), and which comprise adjustment means allowing to positioning and orienting said work assembly (3) in space, so that the direction (TC) in which the forces must be exerted, ie in the axis of the upper limb to be positioned stretched at a glenohumeral angle and secondly that the work assembly (3) is at a distance that allows these efforts can be made arm extended or slightly bent
