Abstract

A physical therapy and exercise system is provided having a base, a tower disposed on the base, at least one arm having at least one first end and second end where the first end is connected to the tower, and at least one seat connected to the second end of the arm. The base and tower rotate to provide a system operator with access to various patients. A control panel is electrically connected. A system operator programs the system with the control panel to rotate to various degrees, speeds, and time intervals. The system is adjustable to accommodate patients of various heights and weights and patients with varying needs.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A physical therapy and exercise system comprising:
 a base;   a tower disposed on said base;   at least one arm, including at least a first end and a second end wherein said first end is connected to said tower; and   at least one seat operatively connected to said second end of said at least one arm.   
   
   
       2 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  where said base is circular. 
   
   
       3 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  wherein said tower is substantially cylindrical. 
   
   
       4 . They physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  further comprising a top portion disposed on said tower. 
   
   
       5 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  wherein said tower revolves with said base. 
   
   
       6 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  further comprising a control panel operatively connected to said physical therapy and exercise system. 
   
   
       7 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 4  wherein said control panel is programmable. 
   
   
       8 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  further comprising a remote configured to engage said physical therapy and exercise system. 
   
   
       9 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  wherein said at least one seat is adjustable based on patient height. 
   
   
       10 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  wherein said at least one seat is adjustable based on patient weight. 
   
   
       11 . The physical therapy and exercise system of claim wherein said seat includes a back rest. 
   
   
       12 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  wherein said seat rotates. 
   
   
       13 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  further comprising a safety harness operatively connected to said seat. 
   
   
       14 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  further comprising a safety bar operatively connected to said seat. 
   
   
       15 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  wherein said seat includes a locking mechanism. 
   
   
       16 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  wherein said at least one seat is adjustable according to weight. 
   
   
       17 . The physical therapy and exercise system of  claim 1  wherein said at said least one arm is adjustable according to height. 
   
   
       18 . A physical therapy and exercise system comprising:
 a base;   a tower disposed on the base wherein said base and said tower are configured to rotate;   at least one arm including at least one first and one second end wherein said first end is connected to said tower;   at least one seat operatively connected to said second end of said at least one arm; and   a control panel configured to control movement of said base and said tower.   
   
   
       19 . A physical therapy apparatus comprising:
 a base for supporting the apparatus;   at least one arm, including at least a first end and a second end;   a connector for connecting said base to said first end of said at least one arm; and   at least one seat connected to said second end of at least one arm.   
   
   
       20 . A method for physical therapy comprising the steps of:
 providing at least one rotating seat, wherein said seat is adjustable and said rotation is variable based upon a computerized software system; and   placing a patient into said seat and accommodating said patients physical characteristics by adjustment of said seat and said computerized system.
