Abstract: The equipment includes at least one connecting bar, at least one flexible ligament, and at least one connector making it possible to connect the ligament to the connecting bar. The connector having a first conduit for engaging the connecting bar, equipped with a device for immobilizing the connector relative to the connecting bar, and a second conduit for receiving at least one strand of the ligament, having an insertion opening for this or these strands and an outlet opening for this or these strands, and equipped with devices for mobilizing the ligament relative to the connector. The second conduit is rectilinear between the insertion opening of the strand(s) of the ligament and the outlet opening. The second conduit has a transverse section adjusted to the transverse section of the strand(s) of the ligament that it is intended to receive, i.e.

Abstract: This equipment comprises at least one rigid connecting bar (2), first and second bone anchoring members (3, 4) and first and second connecting parts (5, 6), capable of connecting the connecting bar (2) to said bone anchoring members (3, 4). According to the invention, each second bone anchoring member is in the form of a flexible ligament (4) capable of being engaged around the lamina (101) or an apophysis of a vertebra (100); each second connecting part (6) comprises a conduit (11) receiving said ligament (4) and means (12) for blocking said ligament (4) in the conduit, with tensing of the ligament (4), and each contact member includes at least one rotating part (16; 17) mounted in said second connecting part (6), capable of coming into contact with said connecting bar (2) by a point.

Abstract: An orthopaedic chair that requires a seated person to actively and dynamically support their upper bodies while seated is provided. The chair is designed such that the core musculature of the seated person must be actively engaged while in a seated position. To accomplish this, the chair is provided with an unstable or dynamic seating platform, i.e., a seating platform which is independently movable in several dimensions such that to stabilize the seating platform the musculature of the body, and in particular the core, must be utilized.
