An apparatus in the form of a bed or chair for providing relaxation therapy and prevention of decubitis sores is distinguished by the use of flexible beams of the nature of leaf springs. Instead of being lifted up and down by rather complex apparatus only a single shaft carrying cams is provided which acts on the leaf spring-like beams to flex them upwardly and/downwardly to provide the required action. Preferred cams provide no lifting action but only intermitted depressing action of these beams which reduces vertigo and nausea effects and can be slid onto a cam shaft in any one of a multiple alternative angular positions. This enables selection of the travelling wave action for relaxation therapy and of the decubitis preventing action.

Appareil ayant la forme d'un lit ou d'une chaise et servant à dispenser une thérapie de relaxation et à prévenir les escarres de décubitus. Se distingue par l'utilisation de montants souples de type ressort à lames. la place d'un mécanisme relativement complexe de levage et de descente, on retrouve une seule tige à cames, qui exerce une action sur les montants de type ressort à lames de manière à les fléchir vers le haut ou le bas pour obtenir l'action voulue. Les cames n'exercent aucune action de levage, mais une simple dépression intermittente sur ces montants, ce qui réduit les sensations de vertige et de nausées; elles peuvent être introduites dans un arbre à cames selon l'une ou l'autres des multiples positions angulaires possibles. Il est ainsi possible de sélectionner les ondes progressives pour la thérapie de relaxation et la prévention des escarres de décubitus.
