Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8700424A1] A method and apparatus for restoring curvature to the human spine (17). The apparatus includes a table (12) for supporting a body in a supine position. Mounted to the table are resilient lumbar (16) and cervical (14) supports. The supports are each shaped to correspond substantially to their named posterior concavity of the spine for applying a static force to the concavity. A force actuator (65) having a piston is spaced above the table to apply a fore anteriorly to the spine through the body, the piston extended against and withdrawn from the body as the body resists the force through muscular action. The force actuator is longitudinally movable (68) relative to the body in response to muscular action of the body.
