Abstract

Manipulation treatment apparatus is disclosed comprising a manual treatment table (3) on which a patient may be supported. Force application means (20) fixed relative to the table apply a force to contact means, such as a belt (51) or plate (26), adapted to contact a portion of the patient. The force application means (20) includes oscillating drive means adapted cyclically to apply and release a force to the contact means. A load cell measures the force being applied. Control apparatus is provided for controlling the timing and amount of force applied during each cycle, taking into account signals derived from the load cell. The apparatus may be switched between a learning mode, in which a practitioner manipulates the contact means, with the load cell detecting the amount of applied force, and the apparatus recording the parameters of force and frequency; and a treatment mode during which the apparatus operates taking the stored parameters into account. In the learning mode, the force and frequency parameters are captured and analysed until the variation between successive pressure or pulling cycles carried out by the practitioner is less than a given threshold, whereafter the average values of force and cycle time are calculated and stored for use in the treatment mode.
