Abstract
Apparatuses for moving or stretching a body portion of a user and associated methods are disclosed herein. The apparatus includes (1) a supporting element configured to support the body portion; (2) a first rod configured to selectively move the supporting element in a first direction and in a second direction; (3) a first shaft coupled to the first rod; (4) a first motor coupled to and configured to rotate the first shaft; (5) a second rod configured to selectively move the supporting element in a third direction; (6) a second shaft coupled to the second rod; and (7) a second motor coupled to and configured to rotate the second shaft. The first direction and the second directions together define a reference plane generally perpendicular to the third direction. The supporting element can be moved by the first and second rods along a three-dimensional moving trajectory.
