ABSTRACT:
The invention is designed to provide controlled cyclic traction to a person who is seated on a chair next to a vertical member such a door or wall. In use, the machine is mounted in a vertical position and the person being treated sits in a chair with his head near the machine. The machine consists of an electronically controlled motor drive housing which is mounted above two precision rails, on which a moving carriage contains the combination of a pivotally mounted chin band and a contoured neck rest, which, by their configuration, can grip the persons head firmly, while not requiring any straps or fasteners which can not be quickly disconnected. The carriage has a dial adjustment for setting the maximum pressure or traction that may be exerted on the patient; and this pressure limit is not affected by any change of position by the patient.
A hand held remote control box enables the person being treated to completely control the initial position of the carriage and the cyclic modes of operation, at the push of a button. Internal sensors detect and maintain the limits of travel to the amount of tension that has been set into the machine. A "panic" button on the hand held control box also immediately stops the action of the machine, at the command of the patient, who does not have to disrobe or lie down for the treatment.
