Abstract: The invention relates to equipment for biomechanical stimulation, comprising a base unit, a support unit (4) that is mounted on the base unit in such a way that the position of the support unit can be continuously adjusted in relation to the base unit and a cylindrical stimulation unit (9). The latter contains a drive motor (10) and is connected to the support unit in such a way that during operation it executes a circular or elliptical movement about an axis that differs from the cylinder axis and undergoes a parallel displacement. The equipment can used, in particular, for the selective therapeutic treatment of certain parts of the body, preferably the leg or back muscles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for carrying out biomechanical stimulation, comprising a base plate (1), a pedestal (2) connected to the base plate (1), and a platform (3) connected to said pedestal (2) via a driving device. The invention is characterized in that the platform (3) executes a circular or elliptical movement about an axis, which is located outside of the center of gravity of the platform (3) whereby undergoing a parallel displacement. The device is preferably designed in such a manner that the platform (3) has an ergonomic shape and has a surface area smaller than that of the base plate (1).
