An automated massage device for biomechanical rehabilitation massage for use on CP patients comprises at least one inflatable bladder with inflation means adapted to provide compressive forces against the body to stimulate smooth muscles in a controlled manner. The device includes a programmable controller that is able to receive instructions on a dynamic prescriptive basis from a professional therapist and then relay these instructions to a care-giver in a home situation. The instructions include the placement of the bladder, the duration of the massage and the sequence of body locations to receive massage therapy. Once the bladder is placed in the required position against the body the device will execute the prescribed massage therapy for that location and then cue the care-giver to move the bladder to the next body location in the prescribed sequence. The prescription is time limited and once expired renders the device inoperable to prevent over application of the massage therapy.

L~invention concerne un dispositif de massage automatisé pour massage biomécanique de kinésithérapie pour une utilisation chez les patients CP, comprenant au moins une vessie gonflable avec un moyen de gonflage adapté pour créer des forces de compression contre le corps, afin de stimuler les muscles souples de manière contrôlée. Le dispositif comprend un contrôleur programmable capable de recevoir des instructions sur une base de prescription dynamique provenant d~un thérapeute professionnel, puis de relayer ces instructions à une infirmière au domicile. Les instructions englobent le placement de la vessie, la durée du massage et la séquence des emplacements du corps devant recevoir le massage thérapeutique. Une fois que l~on a disposé la vessie dans la position requise contre le corps, le dispositif va exécuter le massage thérapeutique prescrit pour cet emplacement, puis demander à l~infirmière de déplacer la vessie à l~emplacement suivant selon la séquence prescrite. La prescription est limitée dans le temps et une fois arrivée à expiration, rend le dispositif inopérable pour éviter toute application excessive du massage thérapeutique.
