Abstract
A lumbar decompression device may include one or more bases that support one or more uprights with a plurality of upper support members and a plurality of lower support members. The upper support members are configured to engage with a user's upper body and support a user's body weight. The one or more uprights are positioned laterally from the upper support members such that the user may perform a variety of movements of their lower body without contacting the one or more uprights.
Claims21
A lumbar decompression device, the device comprising:
- at least one base;
- at least one upright connected to the at least one base, wherein at least a portion of the at least one upright is oriented at an angle from the base in a range of 45° to 80° to provide stability while supporting a weight of a user and to provide sufficient space to move a user's lower body relative to a user's upper body while suspended;
- and
- a plurality of upper support members supported by the at least one upright, each upper support member being elongate, having a first free end and a second free end, and being supported by the at least one upright at a location disposed between the first free end and the second free end, the upper support members being configured to have at least a portion of the upper support member in contact with at least a portion of the torso area of the user so as to support a portion of the weight of the user, the plurality of upper support members being spaced sufficiently apart to allow the user to be suspended therebetween.
1 more element
A lumbar decompression device, the device comprising:
- a first base and a second base, the first base and the second base are configured to be moved independent of the other;
- a first upright and a second upright, each of the uprights having a first end and a second end, the first end of the first upright being connected to the first base and the first end of the second upright being connected to the second base, the first base and the first upright being spaced apart from and unconnected to the second base and the second upright to allow the user of the lumbar decompression device to be disposed therebetween when using the device;
- at least one brace member configured to reinforce the first upright in a forward and rearward direction relative to the first base;
- and
- a first upper support member connected to the second end of the first upright and a second upper support member connected to the second end of the second upright, the first upper support member being elongate and extending transversely to the first upright, having a first free end and a second free end, being supported by the first upright at a location disposed between the first free end and the second free end.
2 more elements
A lumbar decompression device, the device comprising:
- a pair of bases each being movable independently from the other;
- a pair of uprights each having a first end and a second end, the first end of each of the pair of uprights being adjustably connected to a one of the pair of bases, the pair of uprights being unconnected to each other and independently movable so as to be spaced apart to allow the user of the lumbar decompression device to be generally vertically disposed therebetween when using the device;
- a pair of brace members configured to reinforce the pair of uprights in a forward and rearward direction, a first brace member of the pair of brace members being connected to the first base at the first end of the first brace member and connected to a first upright of the pair of uprights at the second end of the first brace member, a second brace member of the pair of brace members being connected to the second base at the first end of the second brace member and connected to a second upright of the pair of uprights at the second end of the second brace member;
- a pair of upper support members, each of the pair of upper support members being connected to the second end of the pair of uprights and a distance between the pair of upper support members defining a first width, each upper support member being elongate, having a first free end and a second free end, and being supported by one of the pair of uprights at a location disposed between the first free end and the second free end;
- and
- a pair of lower support members, each of the pair of lower support members being connected to the each of the pair of uprights between the first end and the second end thereof, a distance between the pair of lower support members defining a second width, the second width being greater than the first width.
