Abstract
The invention relates to a delordosation device for users of a rehabilitation appliance, in particular for the verticalization of a sit/stand exercise machine or a wheel chair with a seating area and support aids for a user, the seating area supported in a swiveling manner swiveling for verticalization. To avoid hyperlordosis while patients with a restricted mobility are being straightened up in rehabilitation measures or a verticalization in a sit/stand exercise machine 1 or wheel chair, it is provided that the seating area is supported in a swiveling manner, and at least a portion of the seating area is mounted in a movable manner. Thus, a pelvis rotation can be initiated during verticalization, whereby hyperlordosis is avoided.

A delordosation device for a verticalization rehabilitation appliance, comprising:
- a seating surface supported by frame elements or structural portions about a swivel axis for verticalization of a user with at least a portion of the seating surface supported in a linear movable manner relative to the swivel axis;
- and
- at least one armrest, at least one backrest, at least one footrest or at least one headrest,
