Abstract

The present invention is to provide a chain stabilizing device which can fundamentally solve the phenomenon of extension of a chain during use of a hyperthermo-therapeutic apparatus and allow use of existing curved rails conforming to the shape of a user's body. The present invention is to provide an apparatus for stabilizing a chain in a hyperthermo-therapeutic apparatus, comprising a chain stabilization control unit for stably moving the chain at a constant level regardless of an upward/downward movement of a hyperthermo-therapeutic unit of the hyperthermo-therapeutic apparatus during forward/backward reciprocation of the hyperthermo-therapeutic unit; and a chain-tension control unit for adjusting a tension on the chain, which can be generated during the forward and backward reciprocation of the hyperthermo-therapeutic unit.
