Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9119543A1] A device for strengthening the lower back of a user which includes a frame (12) having a horizontal hip support member (40) and a horizontal head, shoulder, and upper chest support platform (14). The user places himself upon the frame (12) so that his hips, head, shoulders, and upper chest are supported with his legs hanging vertically from the hip support (40). The chest of the user is largely unsupported to permit comfortable breathing. The user raises his legs from the vertical position to a horizontal position. The device may include a hydraulically operated hinge member (70) to assist in the movement of the user's legs to provide therapy for a disabled user.
