  • Patent number: 5840001
    Abstract: A therapy table, the articulated platform of which may be vertically positioned for ease of mounting by a user, particularly a disabled or injured user. The articulated platform separately supports the lower and upper body of the user. A foot rest platform is provided at the lower end of the platform for the user to initially mount the table. A leg locking arrangement secures the user to the foot rest platform and table during foot rest platform positioning of the user in vertical relationship to the articulated platform. The platform may be rotated to an essentially horizontal position. The upper body support portion of the platform may be moved away from the user whereby the user may perform selected exercises such as hyper extension of the lower back. Weights may be made accessible to the user to allow conditioning of selected muscle regions. The design and use of this table is particularly adapted to reduce the stress of therapy for a user having an injured back.
