Abstract
Described herein are various embodiments of differential air pressure systems and methods of using such systems. The differential air pressure system may comprise a chamber configured to receive a portion of a user's lower body and to create an air pressure differential upon the user's body. The differential air pressure system may further comprise a user seal that seal the pressure chamber to the user's body. The height of the user seal may be adjusted to accommodate users with various body heights.
Claims18
A differential air pressure system, comprising:
- a positive pressure chamber with a seal interface configured to receive a portion of a user's body and form a seal between the user's body and the chamber;
- a height adjustment assembly attached to the chamber adjacent to the seal interface;
- and a control panel attached to the height adjustment assembly.
The system of claim l, wherein said positive pressure chamber comprises at least one transparent panel.
A differential air pressure system, comprising:
- a pressure chamber;
- and
- a vertically adjustable cantilevered frame having a first movable configuration and a second locked configuration wherein the second locked configuration is actuated by the pressure chamber.
