Provided is a medical device whereby a burden placed on a patient in spinal deformity surgery is alleviated while facilitating the surgery. A medical device in which a chest unit 5A for supporting the chest of a patient 2 and a pelvic unit 5B for supporting the pelvis of the patient 2 are disposed side by side on a base 10, the medical device being provided with a first shifting device 15, 16 for shifting the chest unit 5A in a first direction closer to or away from the pelvic unit 5B, and a second shifting device 25, 46 for shifting either the chest unit 5A or the pelvic unit 5B in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the first direction with respect to the other of the chest unit 5A or the pelvic unit 5B.

Example traction devices, systems and methods for use thereof are provided. An example traction device may include (a) a frame comprising a top support having first and second ends, where the first end of the top support is coupled to a first vertical support and the second end of the top support is coupled to a second vertical support and (b) a balance bar moveably coupled to the top support via a wire, where opposing ends of the balance bar are each coupled to an attachment ring or define a receptacle.

The invention relates to a device (10) for mobilising the sacroiliac joint (1) of a patient, particularly for loosening a blockage of the sacroiliac joint of the patient, comprising: a treatment table (20) with a lying surface (30) for the patient, the lying surface (30) having an opening (40) in the region of the sacroiliac joint (1) of the patient; a holding device (50) for arranging the pelvis (2) of the patient in relation to the treatment table (20); and at least one force transmission element (60) arranged in the region of the opening (40) of the lying surface (30), the force transmission element being designed to exert a force on the sacrum (3) of the sacroiliac joint (1) of the patient, by means of a movement.

A massage cushion is provided, using a semi-solid foam board to be the a filler of the massage cushion, so we can open a breathing hole on one side of massage cushion, and open a ditch in the form of a horizontal air channel connected to the breathing hole. Accordingly, the fabric case of the massage cushion is opened into a breathing hole at the same location, and has two or three stainless steel airholes closer the outlet of air channel. In this manner, the massage cushion becomes one side breathing hole cushion, having one side for massage and the other side can be used for gym exercises.

A patient support apparatus for spinal conditions comprising a knee support 10,12, a patient torso support 32,60 for supporting a patient in the kneeling position, means 32 for supporting a patient's torso in a range of inclinations below horizontal in order to cause a mass of the patient's torso to tension the spine. The torso support 32,60 is supported by a radius arm 50 that is pivoted below the torso support 32,60, is free to swivel about a fixed joint 52 located forward of, and below the level of, the knee support 10,12, and is inclined upwardly forwardly towards a ring pad support 60 for a patient's head.

A stabilization system configured to be arranged on a floor comprising a table having generally flat surface having a longitudinal axis for receiving a human body having a first hole, a second hole, and third hole within the flat surface, each hole having a hole shape with a generally vertical inner surface and configured to receive a bolster connector, a bolster comprising a bolster connector having an outer shape corresponding to the hole shape, the bolster connector configured to be reversibly engaged by one of the holes, a generally flat surface generally perpendicular to the table surface when the bolster connector is engaged by one of the holes.

Disclosed herein are portable spinal manipulation tables, devices and methods for using same. In one aspect, the portable spinal manipulation table comprises: a body support section, the body support section comprising: at least one body plate having first and second surfaces and first and second ends; at least one body support member rotatably attached to at least one surface of the body plate; and at least one body pad releasably attached to at least one surface of the body plate; a head support section in operable communication with the body support section, the head support section comprising: at least one head plate having first and second surfaces and first and second ends; at least one head support member rotatably attached to at least one surface of the head plate; and at least one head pad releasably attached to at least one surface of the head plate. The device can be configured to go from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration to allow for transport and storage.

A percussive adjusting instrument is provided which includes a percussive instrument head and a traversing arm that couples to the percussive instrument head. The percussive instrument head is movable with respect to the traversing arm. A vertical arm supports the traversing arm. The vertical arm also pivots the traversing arm and the percussive instrument head about an axis. A pivot assembly allows movement of the vertical arm and the percussive instrument head.

An athletic training table has a main body with a padded weather resistant platform attached to a frame with a handle and wheels. The frame further has first legs and second legs rotatably connected thereto. The first legs and the second legs each have a first leg portion and a second leg portion. The first leg portion and the second leg portion, on both the first legs and the second legs, are connected by a cross-support member and a base support member. The first legs and the second legs are attached to a central telescopic member that expands and contracts as the first legs and the second legs are rotated between a folded position and an unfolded position.

A method of increasing blood flow to the head includes causing an individual's blood to circulate while the individual's heart and head are at a first elevation position, elevating the individual's heart and head to a second elevation position that is above the first elevation position, and causing the individual's blood to circulate while the individual's heart and head are at the second elevation position.
