Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a far infrared physiatric unit that can comfortably treat a patient in any position. The unit has a frame, an emitter, and two supporting knobs. The frame has side boards and a supporting unit, which is mounted between the side boards. The emitter is pivotally mounted between the side boards in the frame. The patient can place their arm or foot on the supporting unit, and the emitter is adjusted to any position and angle to correspond to any position on the patient. This allows the patient to be in a comfortable position during the far infrared treatment."

Problems solved by technology

However, the far infrared physiatric unit can only irradiate the patient's back, face, chest and arm with far infrared.
For most patients, the far infrared irradiating the patients' feet is not very comfortable.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] With reference to FIG. 1 and 2, a far infrared physiatric unit in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame (10), an emitter (20) and two adjustment knobs (13).

[0019] The frame (10) has two side boards (11) and a supporting unit (14). Each side board (11) has a top end (111), a front bottom end (113), a rear bottom end (112) and a long hole (12). The long hole (12) is formed between the top end (111) and the front bottom end (113) of the side board (11). The supporting unit (14) is multiple rods separately mounted between the side boards (11) from the front bottom end (113) toward the rear bottom end (112).

[0020] The emitter (20) is pivotally mounted between side boards (11) and has two side ends. Each side end has a threaded hole (21) formed on the side end.

[0021] The adjustment knobs (13) extend respectively through long holes (12) of the side board (11) and screw respectively into the threaded hole (21) in the emitter (20) to hold the emitter (20) between ...

Abstract

A far infrared physiatric unit has a frame, an emitter and two adjustment knobs. The frame has two side boards and a supporting unit. The supporting unit is mounted between the side boards. The emitter is pivotally mounted between the side boards in the frame. A patient places his / her arm or foot on the supporting unit, and the emitter is adjusted to any position and angle to correspond to any position on the patient. The patient can be in a comfortable position during the far infrared treatment.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a far infrared physiatric unit, and more particularly to an emitter of the far infrared physiatric unit that attached to change its position and angle to emit the far infrared to any position of a patient's body. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Recently, people have learned that exposure to far infrared stimulates cell activity that promotes healing and improves health. [0005] With reference to FIG. 6, the far infrared physiatric unit comprises a base (not shown), a flexible arm (40) and an emitter (41). The flexible arm (40) is mounted on the base. The emitter (41) is pivotally attached to a free end of the flexible arm (40). [0006] When a patient is having far infrared treatment, a medical technician can adjust the height of the emitter (41) longitudinally to correspond to a position on a patient's the patient can receive the full benefit of the far infrared treatment. ...
