In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a movement therapy system may include an overlay mattress with movable sections, panels or panes. In one embodiment, a movement therapy system may include an overlay mattress with inflatable chambers, in one embodiment, a movement therapy system may include therapy modules that may vibrate, massage, compress, warm, and/or cool in order to, for example, stimulate blood flow and/or movement in a portion of a patients body. In one embodiment, a movement therapy system may include therapy slings, structured slings and/or enhanced therapy slings. The therapy slings, structured slings, and/or enhanced therapy slings may be used in connection with a lifting mechanism to move portions of a patients body. Such movement may include raising and lowering portions of a patients body. The structured slings may limit the amplitude, angles and/or speed of movement of a patients body. The enhanced therapy slings may supply vibration, massage, compression, heat, and/or cold to a portion of a patients bod) at the same time that the portion of the patients body is being moved. In one embodiment, a movement therapy system may include a programmable means for controlling movements of one or more of the components of the movement therapy system. For example, a programmable controller may control the height, amplitude, speed, velocity, acceleration, number of repetitions, tilt, and/or sequencing of movements of one or more of the components of the movement therapy system.Conformément à un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, un système de thérapie par le mouvement peut comprendre un sur-matelas ayant des sections, des panneaux ou des volets mobiles. Dans un mode de réalisation, un système de thérapie par le mouvement peut comprendre un sur-matelas ayant des chambres gonflables dans un mode de réalisation, un système de thérapie par le mouvement peut comprendre des modules de thérapie qui peuvent vibrer, masser, comprimer,
