ABSTRACT:
A traction table has a top for a patient to lie on and a flexible device for encircling a portion of the patient's body. Spaced above the foot end of the table is a horizontal bar, supported by a pipe frame, on which the patient can press with the feet. At the head end of the table, another pipe frame comprises at least two vertical pipes on each side of the longitudinal midline of the table, as supports for the patient's hands. A holder is horizontally and vertically adjustably secured to the pipes at one of the two ends of the table, and a longitudinally adjustable traction strap interconnects that holder with the flexible device. The traction strap includes a dynamometer to measure the traction force and to permit the patient to exert a predetermined force by pushing or pulling against the respective frames.
