DescriptionZoonomia V2p099.png | A chair for correcting distortion of the spine. It has stuffed moveable arms for the purpose of suspending the weight of the body by cushions under the arm-pits, like resting on crutches, or like the leading strings of infants. From the top of the back a curved steel bar may also project to suspend the body occasionally, or in part by the head. The use of this chair is more efficacious in straightening the spine, than simply lying down horizontally; as it not only takes off the pressure of the head and shoulders from the spine, but at the same time the inferior parts of the body contribute to draw the spine straight by their weight. |
