Dans le domaine de la mobilisation articulaire passive prolongée de l'ensemble du corps un dispositif mécanique permet l'efficacité qu'un seul voir deux professionnels ne sont pas en mesure de réaliser manuellement. Toutefois un tel dispositif mérite une attention particulière car pour mobiliser simultanément le 1 0 maximum d'articulation rachidiennes et les genoux dans plusieurs plans de l'espace , se pose le problème du nombre important de générateurs de mouvements à mettre en oeuvre. Cela entraîne une consommation supplémentaire d'énergie ,un besoin de matériel coûteux et un problème d'encombrement et une source de bruit et de vibration accrue. ,i 5 le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il permet d'obtenir la mobilisation simultanée de chacun des trois segments rachidiens dans deux plans distincts de mouvements physiologiques, plus une flexion des genoux, avec seulement deux générateurs de mouvement. Il est composé d'un support thorax intermédiaire, mobilisé en translation 2 0 verticale et horizontale par deux générateurs de mouvement et qui transmet aux deux autres supports bassin+membres inférieurs et tête ses forces mobilisatrices en mouvements rotatoires autour d'axes disposés à cet effet. La transmission des forces mobilisatrices de translation en rotation est permise par un système de cardans, de leviers inter-appuis et inter-résistants et de plans de glissement de compensation.The present invention relates to a programmable mechanical device which makes it possible to produce and control over time movements or sequences of multidimensional articular physiological movements applied synchronously to each of the three spinal segments and the lower limbs of a user. resting freely on the back. In the field of prolonged passive joint mobilization of the entire body a mechanical device allows efficiency only one see two professionals are not able to perform manually. However, such a device deserves special attention because to simultaneously mobilize the maximum 1 of spinal joints and knees in several planes of space, the problem arises of the large number of motion generators to implement. This results in additional power consumption, a need for expensive equipment and a congestion problem and a source of increased noise and vibration. the device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. It allows the simultaneous mobilization of each of the three spinal segments in two distinct planes of physiological movements, plus knee flexion, with only two generators of motion. It is composed of an intermediate thorax support, mobilized in vertical and horizontal translation by two motion generators and which transmits to the two other supports pelvis + lower limbs and head its mobilizing forces in rotary movements around axes arranged for this purpose . The transmission of translational forces in translation in rotation is enabled by a system of gimbals, inter-support and inter-resistant levers and compensation slip planes.
