A device for mobilizing the human osteo-musculotendinous system, including a kneepad arranged to cover a knee of a human user so as to keep the knee in the kneepad, and arranged to exert, on the knee covered by the kneepad, a mobilizing force, the mobilizing force applying pressure to the knee and being directed towards a bearing surface arranged so that the user's pelvis can bear against said surface and a means for increasing the mobilizing force.

The present invention is a Stretching Machine in the form of a remote power actuated mechanical pushing apparatus comprising a flat base extended in front of an open box frame having a power actuated mechanical pushing and pulling device with a plurality of cylindrical padded arms enabling a full one hundred and eighty degree arc range of effective powered stretching assistance for self stretching the lower back muscles and leg muscles for exercise, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and stretching. It is useful for actively and passively, safely and effectively, self stretching the erector spinae, hamstrings, quadriceps, sartorius, hip adductors, hip flexors, tensor fasciae latae, rectus femris, gluteus maximus, and gluteus medius muscles. The Stretching Machine is also convenient and easy to use to stretch the muscles of the upper back.

The vibrating foot rest comprises a foam wedge and a master circuit. The foam wedge contains the master circuit. The foam wedge is secured to the legs of the patient. The master circuit is a vibrating structure that massages the legs of the patient.

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for training the muscles of the upper torso and/or for relaxing the spinal column of a person, with a movable carriage for receiving the person, and with a guide path along which the movable carriage with the person is guided and moved in such a way that kinetic energy is applied at least intermittently to the person for distraction of the torso or of the spinal column of the person. According to the invention, provision is made that the person on the movable carriage is received on the support lying in a substantially horizontal position, that the hips, legs and/or feet of the person on the support are fixed with a fixing arrangement, and that the movable carriage, with the person lying on it, is moved substantially horizontally along the guide path.

Adjustable seating devices for use in a hot tub may include multiple panels that move relative to one another and/or relative to the hot tub frame to adjust between positions. In some embodiments, one or more panels of the adjustable seating device may include jets. The adjustable seating devices may be adjusted manually, hydraulically, air-actuated, or electronically.

An apparatus for providing therapeutic rehabilitation exercise to bedridden individuals and patients, including comatose individuals. A vertical support column extends upwards from a base, with one or more arms extend from the vertical support column, each providing a rotary mechanism at the distal end, with pedals or handles attached thereto. The individual's feet or hands are secured to the pedals or handles, respectively. Straps, brackets, or other fastening means may be used to secure the feet and hands. An electric motor causes the rotary mechanism to move the pedals or handles in a rotary fashion, thereby providing movement and exercise for the individual's legs and arms.
