Abstract
An continuous passive lumbar motion (CPLM) device for alleviating lower back stiffness and/or pain. A person seated on a backless seat is subjected to cyclical forward and backward horizontal acceleration, thus imposing a horizontal to-and-fro force to the lower part of the body resulting in flexion and tension of the upper torso relative to the lower torso in the lumbar spinal region.
