DE 19815487 A UPAB: 19991124 NOVELTY - Body sensors are used to determine body data, which are used to set the parameters for the massage device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a massage device. The massage device is a tub filled with warm water. The tub is covered with a thin, elastic, flexible membrane e.g. a rubber membrane. The membrane is arranged horizontal and forms a support surface for the person to be treated. Beneath the membrane in the tub, there is a cradle that can be driven parallel to the membrane. It contains a distance device as body sensor (2), and an ultrasound tissue sensor (3) and a massage device (4). The massage device has water jets fed by a control and/or regulated circulating pump. The massage device has a control unit (5), e.g. a personal computer, that receives sensor input, and has memories (10,11) containing body model data and tissue model data. USE - Massage device operated for therapeutic or medical treatment. ADVANTAGE - Provides quick and correct setting of massage parameters for different persons.
