Introduction
1.1 Device Description
The Acceleration Therapeutics device model Exer-Rest
®
is a motorized
therapeutic platform designed and developed by Non-Invasive Monitoring
Systems, Inc. (“NIMS”) of Florida. It is patented in the United States of America
and in countries of the common market.
The top section of the device, which contains the mattress, supports the
individual and moves back and forth while in operation. The base remains
stationary. The dressed individual puts on the Exer-Rest® boots over his/her
shoes or socks, lies down on top of the Exer-Rest® mattress and slides the
boots onto the right and left pin located on the footboard. Whole body periodic
acceleration is achieved on this non-invasive, bed-like platform by moving the
individual repetitively head to foot about 140 times a minute simulating moderate
to brisk exercise. The individual operates the device using a wireless remote
control unit. On the right side of the platform within arms reach is an Emergency
Stop button that can be pushed at any time to cut power to the device. A typical
daily therapeutic session on the Exer-Rest® lasts 45 minutes.
