ABSTRACT:
The gravity traction and exercise apparatus is a tall framework cuboid structure having a series of hand grips along one side and a foot ladder ascending the opposite side. At the top of the structure are two foot binders, each of which is a padded inverted L-shaped plate. The vertical portions of the two foot binders oppose one another to grasp the user's ankles between them. One foot binder is mounted on an inclined track so it can be moved from a lower position near the other foot binder up the track to an upper position away from the other foot binder, opening a space between the two foot binders through which the user's feet may be inserted. Once the user's feet and ankles are between the foot binders the insteps of the user's feet are placed against the top of the movable foot binder and the user's weight is used to pull the movable foot binder down the track to press against his ankles and securely hold them between the two foot binders. The padded binders that are under the user's insteps and pressing against his ankles prevent the user from slipping through the device.
