ABSTRACT:
There is provided an improved patient operated traction apparatus characterized by an articulated frame having a head portion which is pivotally mounted relative to the elongated side rails of a foot portion. The side members of the head portion are pivoted intermediate their ends, thereby providing a projection extending beyond the pivot point and useful as a lever arm for actuating the head portion relative to the foot portion whereby the respective distal extremities are moved in a direction away from each other for applying tension to the patient. Suitable straps are provided at the opposite ends of the apparatus for attachment to the body of the patient.
