The readily moveable carrier means (14) is arranged to execute, simultaneously with or independently of a translatory movement, rotary movement in the horizontal plane and/or a skewing or distorting movement about an axis in the longitudinal of the carrier means (14), in accordance with a programme previously decided for the patient. Rotary movement is arranged to take place about a vertical axis between the carrier means (14) and a means (13) for supporting the small of the back, preferably located at the second vertebra of the patient, counted from the pelvis region. The means for supporting the small of the back is provided with a pressure sensing means (40) and is arranged to be controlled vertically in dependence upon the pressure sensed by the pressure sensing means (40).</p> |
