Abstract
Apparatus and methods for therapeutically treating bone fractures, osteopenia, osteoporosis, or other tissue conditions, postural instability, or other conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, Crohn's disease and kidney and gall bladder stones. An oscillating platform apparatus supports a body to be treated on a non-rigidly supported upper plate. An oscillator is positioned within the oscillating platform apparatus and is configured to impart an oscillating force on the body. The body can be supported by a support structure of which a portion thereof contacts the non-rigidly supported upper plate. Two accelerometers are mounted to the oscillating platform apparatus for determining the acceleration and mass of the body being. Once the mass of the body is determined, the amplitude of the frequency of the oscillating force and/or frequency of the oscillating force is adjusted to provide a desired therapeutic treatment to the patient. Information received from the two accelerometers is also used to determine the posture of the patient and the transmissibility of the mechanical vibration energy generated by the oscillating force through the body.
