  • a rocker device by means of which the patient, who is hanging upside down on the holder, can be moved vertically in a rocking manner.
  • the in Fig. 8 of FR 2 562 429 disclosed springs support only a lifting of the patient, but cause no rocking motion, since the patient is held in the hanging position by locking the pulley.
  • the invention has the advantage that the circulation is relieved, whereby the outflow of venous blood from the legs, the pelvis, the pelvic belly, especially the liver and the spleen is facilitated. Furthermore, the arteries are distended in the neck. It comes to an improved blood supply to the brain through the improved oxygenation of the blood. In addition, the brain is supplied with both quantitatively and qualitatively upgraded blood.
  • the diaphragm is widened to the diaphragm by pressure of the abdominal organs, whereby the liver and the venous blood are gently squeezed out through the portal circulation and bile.
  • These functions are optimized by the invention enabled rhythmic swinging of the body in the hanging position.
  • the exhalation is facilitated, with residual air can be exhaled maximum.
  • Stagnant liquids and residual air are mobilized.
  • the formation of mucus in the bronchi can be carried out more easily.
  • Improving blood flow to the brain also improves blood flow to the eyes and the auditory balance organ. Vision and hearing can thus improve.
  • the improved brain circulation improves brain performance, especially memory and learning ability.
  • the invention affects the supportive and musculoskeletal system.
  • By gently swinging in the hanging position undernourished disc tissue can recover.
  • the nutrition of the intervertebral discs by the train-pressure-suction force is improved, wherein in the hanging position, the train-suction forces predominate, while the organism is otherwise increasingly exposed to the pressure forces.
  • the ability to recover the entire organism from the influence on the attitude in light scoliosis forms, postural weaknesses such as rounded back by the suction-pressure effect on large joints, such as knee, hip or ankle improved.
  • In the swinging hanging position malpositions of the spine balance out under the influence of physiological forces.
  • By swinging or vertical rockers in the hanging position the entire body cell structure is toned and relieved. Thereby a compensation of electrostatic charge takes place.
  • act by the present invention enabled vertical rocking movement or vertical swinging dynamic forces on the body, which enhance the therapeutic effect against a static hanging position.
  • the stretching device according to claim 11 differs from the stretching device according to claim 1 in that the patient is brought from the rest position to the hanging position.
  • a lifting device is provided for this purpose, by means of which a patient suspended with his feet in the holder is raised or lowered.

  • the safety of the stretching device is improved in that a non-elastic safety rope is provided, which connects either the holder with the lifting device or a tether with the lifting device.
  • the safety rope serves as a safety rope for the unlikely event that the elastic band or tension spring breaks.
  • the non-elastic safety rope limits the deflection of the patient, thus ensuring that the patient does not hit his head on the ground.
  • the variant in which one end of the safety cable is connected to a holding belt and another end of the safety cable to the lifting device has the additional advantage that the patient is also secured against loosening of the holder or slipping out of the holder.
  • a guide surface is provided, on which the patient can be guided from the lying into the suspended position and vice versa. This avoids that the patient is brought when lifting in an uncomfortable situation for him, in which, for example, the head is excessively angled.
  • a smooth and for the patient particularly pleasant transition from the lying in the hanging position can be effected, that the guide surface is curved with a vertical and a horizontally expiring end.
  • the comfort of the device is further improved when the guide surface has two spaced-apart tracks, between which a clearance for the head of the patient when raising and lowering is formed.
  • one end of the guide surface is connected to the lifting device.
  • the guide surface is raised together with the patient.
  • the distal end of the guide surface of the guide surface is moved over the ground until the patient's hanging position is reached. This means that the patient does not lie directly on the ground when lifting.
  • the inevitable when lifting grinding movement is made by the provided between the patient and the ground guide surface, which is attached at one end to the lifting device and thus follows the change in the altitude of the lifting device.
  • the guide surface is flexible, so that it adapts to the changing body position during lifting.
  • a further improvement of this device can take place in that the guide surface is constructed of substantially horizontally extended rollers. This applies both to the flexible guide surface and the stationary guide surface.
