Gymnic and rehabilitative machine

Abstract

A gymnic and rehabilitative machine, comprising means ( 2 ) for allowing the user to apply forces and a load ( 3 ) mobile along a guide-way under the action exerted by the user by means of said means ( 2 ) for applying a force; the path followed by the load is curvilinear, offering various non-rectilinear trajectories during motion, with a variable geometry in the plane and in the space.

         12 . A gymnic and rehabilitative machine comprising means for allowing the user to apply forces, a load mobile along a guide-way under the action exerted by the user by means of said means for applying a force, wherein the load follows a curvilinear path in a closed kinetic chain, that is to say its trajectory distances itself from a rectilinear reference axis. 
     
     
         13 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein said reference axis is a vertical axis. 
     
     
         14 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein said guide-way is defined by a curvilinear guide. 
     
     
         15 . The machine of  claim 13 , wherein said guide-way is defined by a curvilinear guide. 
     
     
         16 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein the machine comprises a fixing structure to a wall or to a vertical support, being said guide so shaped that its upper portion is farther from the wall and its lower portion is nearer the wall. 
     
     
         17 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein the zone destined for the positioning of the user's feet onto the ground is disposed on the vertical of the arrival point of said trajectory. 
     
     
         18 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein said load consists of a carriage which slides along a guide and has a predetermined mass. 
     
     
         19 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein said load consists of a carriage which slides along a guide and has a predetermined mass, said carriage being provided with supports for housing one or more discs which define said mass. 
     
     
         20 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein said load consists of a carriage to which a handle for the user's hands is fixed, being a headrest arranged at the centre of said handle and destined for the zone of the user's nape. 
     
     
         21 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein said guide-way is defined by a curvilinear guide, said guide having a curved or inclined portion whose bend or inclination is predetermined according to the purposes to be achieved by executing a given exercise. 
     
     
         22 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein the machine is provided with a footboard which can be bent for the user. 
     
     
         23 . The machine of  claim 12 , wherein the guide-way followed by said load is curvilinear, said load consisting of a carriage sliding along a curvilinear guide which offers various non-rectilinear trajectories during motion, with a variable geometry in the plane and in the space.
