  • Therapeutic device for sufferers of back pain
    Patent number: 4895328
    Abstract: A therapeutic device for persons suffering back pain from compression of the spinal column features a cradle used in conjunction with a chair or the like in which the sufferer is seated with his arms and elbows close to his or her sides. The cradle includes a pair of arms which lie along and beneath the person's forearms. A mechanism raised the cradle so that the weight of the body is at least partially lifted from the chair and transferred to the person's upper arms and shoulders, thus reducing compressive weight on the spinal column.
