A dry immersion bed for the treatment of patients, the dry immersion bed comprising:

• a membrane;
• a water tank with a floor and four walls, which are a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls;
• and a bed;
• wherein said four walls and the floor of the water tank form an open top water-tight container;
• wherein said membrane is arranged between the patient and the external surface of the bed and fixed to the ends of the upper edges of the tank, separating the patient from a liquid contained in the tank, characterized in that the bed possesses at least the following degrees of freedom in relation to the tank floor:
• upward and downward movement in relation to the floor;
• forward tilting and backwards tilting in relation to the front wall and rear wall;
• and
• rotation to the right and rotation to the left towards the side walls;
• wherein said bed is connected to the tank floor using at least one vertical actuator;
• and said bed is segmented into four platforms which are:
• first platform;
• second platform;
• third platform;
• and fourth platform, wherein said first platform is adapted to support the patient's back and head;
• the second platform is adapted for the patient's seated support;
• and the third platform is adapted to support the patient's thigh;
• and the fourth platform being adapted to support the patient's legs and feet;
• wherein said platforms have degrees of freedom between themselves and said bed is equipped with at least three angular actuators, capable of providing a change in the angle defined between the first and second platforms, the second and third platform and between the third and fourth platform respectively;
• the at least one vertical actuator together with the angular actuators, enabling the following therapeutic treatment positions:
• fowler position;
• semi-fowler position;
• trendelenburg position;
• anti-trendelenburg position;
• cardiac position;
• anti-shock position;
• and inclination with head elevation above the patient's feet.
