Spinal disorders, such as disc herniation and sciatica, significantly affect mobility and quality of life. This study presents the design, development, and clinical evaluation of a novel biomechanical sports device for spinal rehabilitation. The device integrates principles of biomechanics, bioelectrics, and bioresonance, allowing the operator to control all therapy stages precisely. The system combines pneumatic jacks, linear bearings, IR infrared irradiation, electro-puncture, suction, and vibration mechanisms to provide targeted spinal support, reduce pain, improve blood circulation, and strengthen muscles around the injured vertebrae.
Pilot tests conducted on 400 patients demonstrated recovery improvement within 5–10 sessions, with subsequent maintenance sessions ensuring long-term benefits. The proposed device offers a safe, effective, and scalable solution for spinal rehabilitation applicable in clinical, sports therapy, and general fitness settings.
