The present invention relates to a support arrangement for supporting a load at an elevated position, particularly where the load can then be used for its intended purpose at an elevated position and where the weight of the load is supported. The support arrangement comprises a support structure and a weight balancing device supported by the support structure for balancing the weight of a load, the weight balancing device having a first line extending therefrom and having a distal end for engaging with a load, where the first line is extendable and retractable from the weight balancing device to enable balancing of the weight of the load at a desired elevation. The support arrangement further comprises a retractor device comprising a carrier receiving a second line where the second line is retractable and extendable from the carrier, the second line having a distal end secured to the first line at a securing location such that as the first line is extended the second line retracts onto the carrier, and conversely as the first line is retracted the second line deploys from the carrier, the retractor device further comprising a restrictor for restricting the speed of deployment of the second line from the carrier.

The present invention relates to a magnetic stimulation (MS) and preferably transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil arrangement designed for use as a placebo treatment. Accordingly, the purpose of the invention is to reduce or remove the effect of the magnetic field generated in use by a magnetic stimulation coil arrangement whilst the appearance presented remains as expected from a MS coil arrangement. The invention comprises a radially wound conductive element having a plurality of turns forming at least one winding. There is further provided at least one conductive magnetic field disrupting element at least partially positioned adjacent to the at least one winding for disrupting a magnetic field generated in operation by the at least one winding. The conductive magnetic field disruptive element accordingly attenuates the generated magnetic field beneath the coil arrangement.
