Automated complete exercise system

Physical exercise/therapy apparatus comprising:

• a bed support, comprising an inclined surface, having a bed support first end and a bed support second end;
• a first vertically oriented support that receives, holds and allows rotation of the bed support first end and a second vertically oriented support that receives, holds and allows rotation of the bed support second end so that the bed support is held at a selected incline angle θ relative to a selected plane;
• a user support bed that supports a user and that moves along the bed support between the bed support first end and the second bed support end;
• a command processor, located adjacent to or on the support bed, to receive and implement a command for a change in at least one parameter associated with an exercise/therapy workout by the user;
• a first vertical translation mechanism, associated with the vertical support, that translates the bed support first end along the vertical support by a selected amount in response to receipt of an electronic signal from the command processor, without requiring that the user dismount from the support bed and without requiring that the user interrupt an exercise/therapy workout;
• and
• a second vertical translation mechanism, associated with the vertical support, that translates the bed support second end along the vertical support by a selected amount in response to receipt of an electronic signal from the command processor, without requiring that the user dismount from the support bed and without requiring that the user interrupt an exercise/therapy workout.

Physical exercise/therapy apparatus comprising:

• a bed support, comprising an inclined surface, having a bed support first end that is supported on a floor by at least one horizontal translation roller that moves along the floor and thereby allows the first end to be translated, and having a bed support second end;
• a tiltable support, rotatably connected to the floor at a tilt support location, that tilts at a controllably variable tilt angle φ relative to the floor and that receives, holds and allows rotation and translation of the second support end so that the inclined surface is held at a selected incline angle θ relative to the floor;
• a user support bed that supports a user and that moves along the bed support between the bed support first end and the second bed support end;
• a command processor, located adjacent to or on the support bed, to receive and implement a command for a change in at least one parameter associated with an exercise/therapy workout by the user;
• a vertical translation mechanism, associated with the tiltable support, that translates the bed support second end along the tiltable support by a selected amount in response to receipt of an electronic signal from the command processor, without requiring that the user dismount from the support bed and without requiring that the user interrupt an exercise/therapy workout.

Physical exercise/therapy apparatus comprising:

• a bed support, comprising an inclined surface, having a bed support first end that is supported on a floor and allows the bed support to be rotated about the first end, and having a bed support second end;
• an inclined surface support that receives, holds and allows rotation and translation of the bed support second end so that the body support is held at a selected incline angle θ relative to the floor, where the inclined surface support is curvilinear and is approximately a sector of a circle that is centered at the bed support first end;
• a user support bed that supports a user and that moves along the bed support between the bed support first end and the second bed support end;
• a command processor, located adjacent to or on the support bed, to receive and implement a command for a change in at least one parameter associated with an exercise/therapy workout by the user;
• a curvilinear translation mechanism, associated with the bed support, that translates the bed support second end by a selected amount along a perimeter of the circle sector defined by the inclined surface support, in response to receipt of an electronic signal from the command processor, without requiring that the user dismount from the support bed and without requiring that the user interrupt an exercise/therapy workout.
