Just one embodiment of the invention includes a device, method and system for positioning a treatment instrument with respect to a patient. The novel device includes a holder for securing the treatment instrument (e.g., a magnetic stimulation device used for transcutaneous magnetic stimulation treatment of depression). The holder allows the treatment instrument to move about the patient. The device also includes a first arm that is coupled to the holder, and a vertical support that is coupled to the first arm. The first arm is substantially transverse to the vertical support, and may rotates about the vertical support in a horizontal axis. Such rotation, as well as movement and rotation of other components with respect to each other may be facilitated by a ball bearing construction.

Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne un dispositif, un procédé et un système de positionnement d'un instrument de traitement par rapport à un patient. Ce nouveau dispositif comporte un support de fixation de l'instrument de traitement (ex. dispositif de stimulation magnétique utilisé pour un traitement de stimulation magnétique transcutanée de la dépression). Le support permet à l'instrument de traitement de se déplacer autour du patient. Le dispositif comprend également un premier bras qui est accouplé au support, et un support vertical accouplé au premier bras. Le premier bras est sensiblement transversal au support vertical et peut tourner autour du support vertical dans un axe horizontal. Cette rotation, ainsi que le mouvement et la rotation d'autres composants les uns par rapport aux autres peut être facilités par une construction à roulements à billes.
