Abstract
An apparatus for musculoskeletal stimulation allows a restoring element communicating with the limb support to provide a restoring force to the limb support that is dependent on displacement of the limb support from a neutral positions. The restoring force may be applied by a weight or a spring.
Claims20
An apparatus for applying an axial vibratory force to a limb of a user of the apparatus, the limb having at least first and second segments each having axes and communicating by a joint, the apparatus comprising:
- a limb support to receive the limb of a user;
- a vibration system communicating with the limb support to provide a vibration force to the limb within a first excursion range;
- and
- a restoring element communicating with the limb support to provide a restoring force to the limb support over a second excursion range larger than the first excursion range wherein the restoring force is dependent on displacement of the limb support from a neutral position.
A modular apparatus for applying an axial vibratory force to a limb of a user of the apparatus, the limb having at least first and second segments each having axes and communicating by a joint, the modular apparatus comprising:
- a modular limb support to receive the limb of a user;
- a vibration system communicating with the limb support to provide a vibration force to the feet within a first excursion range;
- and
- a restoring element communicating with the limb support to provide a restoring force to the limb support over a second excursion range larger than the first excursion range wherein the restoring force is dependent on displacement of the limb support from a neutral position.
