The invention relates to equipment for biomechanical stimulation,
comprising a base unit, a support unit (4) that is mounted on the base
unit in such a way that the position of the support unit can be
continuously adjusted in relation to the base unit and a cylindrical
stimulation unit (9). The latter contains a drive motor (10) and is
connected to the support unit in such a way that during operation it
executes a circular or elliptical movement about an axis that differs
from the cylinder axis and undergoes a parallel displacement. The
equipment can used, in particular, for the selective therapeutic
treatment of certain parts of the body, preferably the leg or back
muscles.
