Machines for treating or preventing neuromuscular pain conditions and injuries by slow patient controlled stretching of a muscle or group of muscles when they and surrounding muscles are in a relaxed state (i.e., with little or no extrafusal muscle fiber contractions). The machines include a fixed support such as seat. An adjustable support, such as a back or side rest is adjusted for the particular patient. A controllable support moved in an alternating motion, under the patient's control, allows the injured or painful muscle to be slowly stretched by gravity, while the muscles are relaxed. The controllable support is preferably moved by a hydraulic cylinder.

Cette invention se rapporte à des appareils conçus pour traiter ou prévenir les douleurs et blessures neuromusculaires par étirement lent, sous maîtrise du patient, d'un muscle ou d'un groupe de muscles lorsque ces muscles et les muscles avoisinants sont à l'état de repos (c'est à dire, ne présentant pas ou peu de contractions des fibres musculaires extrafusales). Ces appareils comportent un support fixe du type siège. Un support réglable, du type dossier ou accoudoir, est réglé pour un patient donné. Un support susceptible d'être commandé, soumis à un mouvement alternatif, sous maîtrise du patient, permet l'étirement en douceur du muscle douloureux ou blessé, alors que les muscles sont à l'état de repos. Le support susceptible d'être commandé est de préférence déplacé par un cylindre hydraulique.
