A powered spinning training/therapy apparatus for rotating a body of a person comprises a spinning apparatus. The spinning apparatus includes a chassis and a rotatable platform supported by the chassis for rotation about a vertical platform axis. The rotatable platform is configured to support the body of the person in an upright orientation with the vertical platform axis passing through the body of the person. A drive unit is operatively connected to the rotatable platform for rotating the rotatable platform about the vertical platform axis and has sufficient power to rotate the rotatable platform and the body of the person disposed thereon at a rotational speed of at least 0.1 RPM. A controller is provided for controlling the drive unit and thereby controlling the rotation of the rotatable platform.
A powered spinning training/therapy apparatus for rotating a body of a person, the powered spinning training/therapy apparatus comprising:
The powered spinning training/therapy apparatus according to any preceding claim, wherein the controller and the drive unit are operatively connected so that the controller may provide control signals in response to manual control and/or through programming to govern the operation of the drive unit.
The powered spinning training/therapy apparatus according to any preceding claim, wherein the drive unit is operatively connected to an electric power source.
The powered spinning training/therapy apparatus according to any preceding claim, wherein the drive unit is operatively connected to a non-electrical power source.
The powered spinning training/therapy apparatus according to any preceding claim, wherein the controller is configured to provide a selection of at least one of a manually selected rotational speed and a selected sequence of rotational speeds and/or rotational directions of the drive unit or of the rotatable platform.
The powered spinning training/therapy apparatus according to any preceding claim, further comprising an auxiliary controller for controlling the drive unit and thereby controlling the rotation of the rotatable platform, so that the controller and/or the auxiliary controller are configured to provide control signals in response to manual control and/or through programming to govern the operation of the drive unit.
The powered spinning training/therapy apparatus according to any preceding claim, wherein the vertical platform axis passes through a center of the rotatable platform.
The powered spinning training/therapy apparatus according to any preceding claim, wherein the vertical platform is configured to support the body of the person with the vertical platform axis passing through the body of the person.
The powered spinning training/therapy apparatus according to any preceding claim, further comprising a plurality of support wheels rotatably attached to the chassis and contacting a lower surface of the rotatable platform for supporting the rotatable platform.
