MACHINE FOR THE THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT OF LUMBAGO AND LUMBAGO/SCIATICA

摘要

the machine is described, which is used for the therapeutic treatment of lumbago and sciatica of lumbago and includes a foot plate is a fixed plate (2) and a footrest (6) which can move angularly in the action of the weight of the patient supported in an upright position with one foot on a toe plates (2, 6) and the other foot on the foot rest plate (2, 6).the footrest plates (2, 6) are arranged one in front of the other, so that the patient is supported by them in a position to ambulatory care. the foot rest plate (6) is composed of two movable adjacent portions (6a, 6b) serves as a support for the front part of the foot and the heel, respectively.the two sides of the plate (6) movable foot rest is connected to a counterweight balance body (22, 24, 27) for maintaining the parts (6a, 6b) at several predetermined positions of equilibrium, and such that an angular displacement of one of the parties to the product an angular displacement corresponding to the opposite party.the body includes a variable counterweight balanced counterweight (22) which could be moved in response to movement of the foot rest portions of the plate and a pair of movable balancing variable (24-27) for braking the sliding movement of the counterweight.by modifying the counterweight and balancing torque, it is possible to vary the resistance of the plate is movable against the foot.
