Abstract

Apparatus for treating a human subject in controllable gravitational and electrical fields includes a platform that is adapted to carry the body in a prostrate position. The platform is cyclically and uniformly displaced about a fixed horizontal axis by support means that are rotatably coupled to the platform and driven by a motor through a speed reducer. An AC generator is mounted under the platform and produces a low frequency signal connected across a pair of electrodes located at opposite ends of the platform. As the platform is displaced, the body is subjected to a uniformly varying gravitational field together with a low energy electrical field between the electrodes which produce in the subject a feeling of well-being and relaxation.
