  • Patent number: 7510539
    Abstract: Health equipment for dragging the lumber with the trunk of the human body securely supported is provided. The trunk support 2 is bendable only inwardly, and holds and supports the trunk of the human body. Since the trunk support 2 is placed around the human body and enfolds from the area below the costae to above the pelvis, the human body is securely supported, whereby lumbago treatment can be carried out with the patient suspended in the air. Since the lumber is dragged with the weight of the lower part of the patient's body, there is no possibility that the lumber is dragged with the excessive weight. The leg hanging unit 4 is a device to hang the legs of the patient. By using this leg hanging unit 4, so called mobilization may be carried out with the lower back portion suspended in the air, thereby increasing effectiveness of lumbago treatment.
