  • Patent number: 4612917
    Abstract: A passive exercise machine has a head pad on which the patient's head rests, two shoulder pads on which the patient's right and left shoulders respectively rest, two buttock pads on which the patient's right and left buttock respectively rest, and two foot pads. The aforesaid seven pads move respecting each other in predetermined ways. Two hip pads are mounted on the two buttock pads respectively. The right hip pad presses tightly against the outside of the patient's body at the right hip, and the left hip pad presses tightly against the outside of the patient's body at the left hip. Hence, the two hip pads, working together, provide a repetitive squeezing and loosening action against the patient's hips. Weighted midriff and waist belts are wrapped around the patient to cause friction over the upper torso and waist areas, and to create more strenuous exercise and a faster weight loss. An adjustable reciprocating arm over the head pad is provided.
