Computer controlled training or body support equipment - has carrying systems with drives and sensors for measuring angles and displacements and RAM and software adaptable to different uses e.g. for body correction

摘要

The appliance can be designed for sitting, lying, standing or walking, or existing furniture or equipment can be adapted or modified, to suit anatomical and physiological condition of user or patient. The computer assisted software induced alterations of the inclination setting of the furniture relative to the room and/or for influencing the position of the parts of the furniture are carried out relative to each other. Across the carrying systems, the furniture or the training appliance, or parts of the same, mainly in the horizontal plane, but also in other planes, e.g. the backrest, are moved from each manually directed or programmed position, according to the particular application, to a selected angle, in several time cycles per movement direction and in programmed work cycles. Existing drive systems are made computer compatible by the installation of sensors, as well as external sensors and simulators, such as movement resistances, optical systems, acoustic or other types of feedback and should be integrated in the total system across the computer. USE/ADVANTAGE - Medical, orthopaedical and special furniture and training appliances. Suitable for handicapped and aged also injured pesonnel. Enables initiations and simulations to be carried out related to patient condition.
