Abstract:
1. An apparatus for overall bodily mobilization of a human subject, comprising: a frame for resting fixed on the ground, a platform for supporting the human subject, wherein the platform moves relative to the frame both in rotation about a substantially vertical fixed axis and according to an off-center mobility, motorized operating means for operating the platform relative to the frame, wherein the motorized operating means throw the platform off-center relative to the substantially vertical fixed axis and rotate the platform about the substantially vertical fixed axis when the platform is off-center, peripheral bearing means for bearing the weight of the human subject on corresponding supporting means for supporting the peripheral bearing means, the supporting means being secured to the frame and the peripheral bearing means being secured to an outer periphery of the platform, wherein the peripheral bearing means and the supporting means enable the platform to rest on the frame in a movable manner when the motorized operating means throw the platform off-center relative to the substantially vertical fixed axis and rotate the platform about the substantially vertical fixed axis, while tilting the platform in an adjustable manner relative to a horizontal direction in a plane passing through the substantially vertical fixed axis and a central zone of the platform, wherein the peripheral bearing means comprise a plurality of bearing elements that are distinct from one another and are distributed in a substantially uniform manner along the periphery of the platform, respectively, for resting locally on the supporting means.
