Patent ID: 7322947

Claim:
A vibratory patient support system comprising: at least one bladder that inflates upon receiving a fluid at a greater rate than fluid exiting the bladder, deflates when the fluid leaves the bladder at a faster rate than fluid entering the bladder, and has a top surface that allows a user to apply pressure thereon and a bottom surface; a vibrational pad device positioned (a) immediately adjacent to or within the at least one bladder and (b) below and not contacting the top surface of the at least one bladder when the vibrational pad device generates a vibrational force; a fluid control unit that can adjust the volume of fluid in the at least one bladder; a vibration control unit that can adjust the vibration forces generated from the vibration pad device; wherein when the vibrational pad device is generating a vibrational force, the inflation control unit does not allow the at least one bladder to become deflated to a point wherein the vibrational pad device contacts the user.
