It shows characterized in that a F i g. 1 is a perspective view of a self-controllable electrical heating resistor (49) for closed, independent hydrotherapy Siabade control the bath temperature is switched on. tub of the present invention, t i g. FIG. 2 is a top view of the tub assembly of FIG. 1; F i g. 3 is a bulk view of the tub assembly from fig. 1, Fig. 4 shows a detail with the hydrotherapy tub of Fig. 1 relating to the installation of a The invention relates to a hydrotherapy Sitzba- 40 heating device relates, and dewanne, with vertical walls, the seat F i g. 5 is a fragmentary side view showing a adjoins a vertical wall. Modification of the belt arrangement of FIG. 1 There is already a hydrotherapeutic hip bath to prevent the entry of a wheelchair patient into the well known (US Pat.

This setting option is intended to be a container arrangement, of the type of a SiU bathing wall Patients a sitting position with a long back, in which all of the functions of such equipment Enable upper body. The vertical adjustment is necessary for the components in an assembly arrangement Development of the tub wall should serve to contain the surface areas. moderate space requirement for the tub when not in use. A preferred embodiment of such a need to decrease. In addition, the location arrangement should contain a tub 1 with vertical silk Upper body of the patient through different walls 3, 5, a front wall 7, a back Inclination adjustment of the adjustable tub wall 9 and a base 11, with the inner part different treatment conditions optimal S3 side a step 13 sealed with respect to the walls be customizable. The adjustable wall part is arranged in each tub 1, and an outer one, however adjustable only so far that its upper edge forms a lowered dry chamber 15. The tub 1 is not under the other upper edges of the others, preferably made of fiberglass or the like. Shaped, wherein Tub wall parts can be lowered. step 13 connected to the wall structure Deviating from the design concept of the 60 door of the tub 1 is shaped to a perfect as described above Tub, the invention has the seal between the level 13 and wall structure too The task is to create a hip bathtub, to achieve with a recessed chamber 15 beder introducing a patient, e.g. B. from an adjoining frame 16 through fiberglass on the ge-Rollstiilil or a bed, thereby facilitated molded tub 1 is attached. 65 The outline of tub 1 is for the present Er tub must be lifted away. Finding of little importance, however, the According to the invention this is achieved by step 13, which has a vertical wall 17 and a that in the seat area 19 adjacent to the seat area of the bathtub, be of sufficient height,
